Install - which device drivers?

1999-04-03 Thread Stefan Langerman

Hi again,

Ok, I'm installing slink right now, and I'm currently in the part where
you install device drivers. Now, How do you know which are the ones you
need? most of them have only one short line of explaination, (one even
just has a '.'), and several seem to do the same thing. Is ther eany place
where I can read more about them to help me make those choices? (usually,
I just pick random stuff, and it seems to work, but I don't think it's the
best method)

Thanks a lot,

Stefan

well, what hardware do you have on your machine?  lots of modules
(=drivers) will load automatically when needed, if not then install them
at this point.  the program it runs is called 'modconf', you can get back
to it after install.
