That's what I call information. Another valuable resource might be found at: Linux on Laptops http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/ There is a listing for a Toshiba 220CDS, so if a 200CDS is anything like a 220CDS, then you have an excellent chance. There are 43 Toshibas listed there. As was mentioned, you may need a zimage kernel disk image but if you make a debian-user list request I'm sure someone will respond. > PS: And, 2.0 or wait a little for 2.1? Once slink is released, updating from hamm to slink should be very straightforward (not now though), so if your only concern is update difficulties, then get hamm now and update to slink after it releases. Besides, you can run most slink packages on hamm, anyway. There may be a number of dependencies to fulfill, but the Debian package finder tells you everything you need and presents it to you in an easy to use interface. http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages I've got a hamm system with some slink packages and it runs great.
