Hi Gustin, I read a rumor (on LAU ?) to the effect that the Turion was a bad risk for Linux, but I must say that the machine has been a champ here. 64 Studio 3.0 is the first full 64-bit system I've been able to install and enjoy on this hardware, and almost everything is working beautifully now. I've yet to test the wireless and webcam, I don't use those devices very often. Btw, I also googled for a solution last night, got no joy. Maybe because I was in a considerably altered state... Anyway, I'll search with your suggested terms, hopefully will come up with a fix. Best, dp _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
