You're welcome, I wish I could offer more hope, but as users of an operating system most people have never heard of, we get to suck it and see. Whichever way you go, I recommend keeping a recent version of Knoppix handy. A lot of hardware troubles are due, not to missing or inadequate software, but to limitations in hardware detection in standard Debian. Knoppix is rightly famous for its hardware handling, and the Debian installer developers will never have the time to apply the kind of effort that Herr Knopper expends on this. A lot of the time, Knoppix will run a 'difficult' bit of hardware, but using mainstream modules that the Debian installer has not seen the need for. It is (mostly) then a matter of tweaking the Debian installation to match. Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
