sure, eeepc 1215B, with 320 GB of hard disk... another interesting thing, as I was attempting to load kubuntu just few minutes back alongside debianKDE that I installed last evening (which did not come to my expectations because lot of things are intelligible by my standard about how to configure X again etc.) the kubuntu suddenly declared that the remaining 200Gb (left out after debian install) is unusuable... and it does not want to play along debian... **how nice of all these distros, that they don't recognize each others efforts...** in this regard, in old times mandriva was very good in recognizing such things is what i remember from my similar experiments 3-4 years back... _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
