That would require the install CD to be psychic. I got an Acer Aspire working under Gentoo after "an excellent adventure". See thread... http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/238950 I think that with Gentoo the problem is knowing which drivers to use. The only problem is to avoid machines with "Poulsbo" video chips at all costs. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
