The install was much easier than I anticitpated, including the 32bit chroot to run openoffice. The machine flies compared to when running windows XP. Immediately after taking delivery of the laptop, I shrank the 2 windows partitions using qtparted after booting into Knoppix. Then booted the installer and partitioned space for both a 32bit and 64bit system. Installed debian sarge (32bit) to give me a working system and then installed the amd64 system. I've not booted into the 32 bit system since (but I'll keep it as insurance ;). Other than some mirror problems when trying to install sid-ia32 chroot, I had no real problems and it's been educational ;) Thanks Clive -- www.clivemenzies.co.uk ... ...strategies for business -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
