If I go with the testing or unstable version, how unstable is the system? This is intended to be a work machine, so I can't really afford to suffer many crashes. On 11/3/06,

Hey. This may be a dumb question, but . . . I'm doing my first install on a laptop. I have found that I need to track down drivers for both my ethernet and wireless cards. I already found them, I think, but I am curious as to how I make them available to the install process. The install talks a

How about using frame buffer. There was a discussion about the various
tweakages back in

My boot from the rescue disk hangs after the md driver. This problem was
discussed in Dec 1998 on this list, and a modified boot disk was posted as a
fix, but which I can not find at present. Does anyone have this disk or some
other way to solve the problem?
