Just a short note that I was quite successful in getting a Dell Latitude LS working including the integrated 3com network card which is id'ed as a 3com 905c card. I did a network install using the latest driver disks and then apt-get. The video card in these laptops is the Neomagic with 2mb of video memory. The system comes with a PIII 400 coppermine, 128mb of memory, and a 12 gig hard disk drive. The Dell Latitude Ls is Dell's lightweight portable. It comes in at about 3 lbs but has a really nice keyboard. I am unsure about the sound card since I normally do not use sound. If you are in the market for a lightweight system, I had debian potato installed in about 45 minutes. Xwindows works after a few failed tries. I get 16bpp at 800x600. I could get 1024x768 at 8 also. This system was also previewed at Dell's booth at the New York Linux World show. -- Michael Perry [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------
