Lorenzo - You may need to install an old version of a distro on your hardware "troppo obsoleto". One of the problems is that modern distros no longer carry the old drivers that you obviously need. When I first started using Linux, it prided itself on being backwards compatible, but sadly that is no longer the case. I have isos of various old distros, so could let you have a few to try, if you like, if you cannot find anything that might be suitable. They are mostly in English, though I think I have still got one or two German ones. Incidentally, this is an English speaking list. I would none-the-less have replied in Italian as well as English, but any knowledge I have of Italian is passive not active. :-( There is an Italian Debian users list, which you might find more useful: http://lists.debian.org/debian-italian/ Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
