My first method of attack is to fire up Knoppix and see what that installs. It's not very good at getting the video card right on laptops, but don't waste time farting around with the video driver - just boot into text mode (it's in the Help screen). Can you find the network drivers from there? For the deluxe version, install Xandros but that costs $$$. Vik :v) -- This PC runs Linux. If you find a virus apparently from me, it has forged the e-mail headers on someone else's machine. Please do not notify me when this occurs. Thanks.
