I'd have to question that, even in my recent-Debian-convert fervour. Slackware comes with a whole range of kernels - low power, apm etc. When I installed Debian on my work laptop I had to compile a new kernel with APM and then compile pcmcia from source to match. Nothing taxing but I wouldn't choose Debian to install on the old laptops I get hold of for personal use - definitely not on the 4mb RAM/170mb disk/pcmcia floppy machine I spooned Slackware into. -- Bruce Unix and C are the ultimate computer viruses. -- Richard P.
