That is exactly what I am shooting for and want to see. I have been working on changes to the installer and I just started working on a custom cd iso that will use new versions of discover, hotplug, newer kernel modules, and more laptop related modules/drivers. I feel there is a large enough following for Debian on laptops to warent this.
But please when done get the configs to me. I am hoping to have the first version of the site up by sept 15, 2005. --Philip > On Wed, Aug 31, 2005 at 03:50:08PM -0400, Philip Schwartz wrote: >> THIS SITE WILL BE DEBIAN ONLY!
