Oh. you can use English Spanish or Portugese to install. The irc

too. Almost forgot that.

If connectiva is so great, why are you trolling other distro's user lists
to get users? It has been my experience that the more I'm pushed into
using a given thing, the more I'd HAVE to be pushed because it doesn't
stack up on technical merits. Now go away.

Debconf problems sounds like an artifact of the perl 5.6 transistion.
Making sure that my perl was upgraded to 5.6 would be my first step.

You're right; it's named debian-user for no apparent reason
whatsoever.

Well, I guess we're even: I never knew somebody could be so stupid as
to think that a list called debian-user wasn't specifically for Debian.
Que sera sera.

If you look under www.linux.org/hardware/laptop.html for your laptop, you
will probably find the information you need. I was able through that to
find the Neomagic driver needed to run linux on a Compaq 1620 laptop.
