2005-12-30 Thread Richard Lyons
Maybe someone here has an idea how to approach this: The thinkpad 600E doesn't allow any access to BIOS - it could only be accessed under a windoze utility I believe. It runs fine under debian, but I recently (rashly, maybe) upgraded to a 2.6.14 kernel as part of a major reorganising that did not

I know this list is committed to debian on laptops, but see quite a few references to debian derivatives, so perhaps this is not entirely OT. When I install on a desktop box, I can be reasonably sure to get most of a working system. Sound sometimes needs a tweak, but generally everything is at le
