I'm sorry, but bhahahahahaha! You expect DEBIAN to work with hardware so new? Yeah, sure. Debian doesn't add new hardware support in security revisions, you'll have to wait for a new release version or somehow get a less stable Debian installed. Mandrake I can't abuse for this because I have no idea how they behave, but I will point out that Debian doesn't even support ATA133 devices in stable, even though I reported that they didn't work and offered a URL to a fix a full month before woody was released. That was some two years ago. If you want a Debian that works with current hardware, try Knoppix. The CD has some issues with the creators being obviously colorblind, but beyond that it's really quite nice. _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
