Do you have the model number? That usually helps when researching hardware compatibility. | PD: any other suggestions about laptops? I just installed woody on an Inspiron 7500 (company machine, it's a PIII). It went beautifully. This machine has a 3c575-based PCMCIA NIC. It works with the Vortex driver (I think it is 3c59x). As I was looking up info on the suspend-to-disk feature I found some messages on debian-laptop, about a year old, that mentioned a company that distributes laptops with the option of having Debian preinstalled. While personally I like to manage my own installation, at least then you know the hardware works. HTH, -D
