Hi!
We're buying an Athlon based system. I'd like to use Debian with it,
but it looks as if that won't be as simple as advertised :) I am aware that
I'd need a newer kernel (2.2.13ish) in order to boot. I can possibly do that
now (else, I'll beg for one :D), even though it's gonna be too big for 1
disk (I recall someone mentioned that). I just wanted to know if there are
any other things one should be aware of in this installation procedure.
Ideally, I'd like to install over ftp. I'd really like to go into potato
straight away, as the graphics card will not be supported by XF86 3.3.2
(?). So far, I have installed slink and apt-get upgrade-ed it as necessary.
Is there a better way?
Has someone got any "success stories" about Debian and Athlon?
Thanks,
Jose
