Greetings, It's been a long time since I've attempted to run Debian on my workstation. The last time was around slink frozen I think. Wasn't my time..
First, I have a feeling I'm going to burn for this one, but.. why is Debian (all versions?) not running 2.4 kernels? Please, please go easy.. :-) Second, I've checked the hardware compatibility lists, but I'm still unsure of my SCSI controller. My motherboard is a Asus P2B-DS with the AIC-7890 on-board controller. The last time I checked, there was unofficial (flaky?) support for it <http://people.debian.org/~joey/linx.html> and the link for those boot disks is now a 404. Do I not need them anymore? For the record, I'm planning to install woody this weekend some time, and here's the important hardware in case anyone can give me a definite "yeah those are fine" to make me feel a lot more at ease: Motherboard: Asus P2B-DS (AIC-7890) (^^^ I have no IDE disks, so it's gotta work) Graphics: Diamond Viper TNT2 Ultra 32Mb (nVidia) Sound: SB Live! CD-RW: HP 8100i USB devices: MS Explorer Mouse (the ball-less-laser-instead kind) MS Natural Keyboard And finally, this may be a long shot, but am I going to get 2 channels working on sound card? Front/Rear satellites plus a sub? I have some great speakers, but I'd hate to have to listen to them from a Windows machine. Thank you very much. -- -Brian Clark | PGP is spoken here: 0xE4D0C7C8
