Re: Fwd: Wireless card
ok thanks, I just realised I have a kernel from unstable installed, 2.6.22. I hope the 6.20 kernel supports wireless.

Re: Fwd: Wireless card
Hey everybody, does anyone know where on the Debian website can i find the 2.6.20 kernel? I only see the 2.6.21 release which wont boot on my machine(hangs after detecting the CD-ROM). Or is it not available from the site any more? Thanks.

How much would all this apply to a laptop? I mean, are they considered more robust or less? w/ regard to powering off and on?

Re: upgrading ubuntu to debian
Just get a debian cd (check architecture) and boot. When it asks what to do tell it to format the entire hard drive and install Debian. Or did you want to keep some aspects of Ubuntu?

I think my windows XP partition might have a virus or maybe some of the Microsoft files are damaged. Its running very slow but linux works fine. I wonder if anyone can tell me if I can reinstall windows without messing up grub? Or should I just resign myself to a fresh install of both OSes? Any comments or advice appreciated. Cavan
