The slowness could be due to low memory, which you mentioned in an earlier message. How much memory do you have? If you're using Gnome with little memory (say, 256MB) you'll be better off using a lighter desktop. (Like lxde.) > Now how do I get debian on here? I haven't tried installing Debian from an existing GNU/Linux installation but there are instructions at http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch05s01.html.en#boot-initrd Don't know where you should put the firmware files but somebody else might. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
