 I just buy a new Compaq N610C laptop and I see: I couldn't install my

What are the symptoms?

 (I need to view a light point from the horizon)
Load Knoppix on it, and run lspci on it. This will allow us to better
asses whether the laptop is Linuxable or not.

 Thanks a lot

You did? Because when I went Linux Compaq N610C on Google, I found 
several pages. Like this one:


http://www.futurehardware.in/411144.htm

According to that one, Red Hat 9.0 (oldie...) went pretty well. I also 
saw something about Debian. Assuming that you have exactly this laptop, 
it looks very linuxable to me.


So please be more specific about which distro you tried and exactly 
where things started to get wrong. If you tried a really old distro, no 
wonder.
