Hello, Thank you for your reply. I'll try to do it by the steps you described, because the method described in this site: "http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/fedora/index.html";, I have already tried without success, ie, the system does not starts after applying that method. During the boot, the system freezes. I told Fedora Core changes a lot of the "normal" stuffs. Do you recommend me another easier distribution? Thank you again Hervandil
