Have you tried the idepci or compact flavor (check the install manual for the differences). The vanilla flavor has a bunch of drivers, tehy may be confusing your machine. After you have Linux installed, you can use reportbug, it knows a lot of stuff. But you can also see bugs on the web at bugs.debian.org, for booting problems tack on /boot-floppies. -- *----------------------------------------------------------------* | .''`. | Debian GNU/Linux: <http://www.debian.org> | | : :' : | debian-imac: <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | `. `'` | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | `- | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
