For missing drivers, you need to install them by boot the installation on some other machine. For xserver config problem, do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-x.org This will drive you through standard text based KGB-style interrogation for reconfiguring x-server. > > > > > Apart from these two problems, most of the work goes smoothly.

If not knoppix, i will recommend using ubuntu. If you want to use debian then carry the whole debian tree with you on a separate hard drive. And yes, dont forget to sync your debian tree every week. regards VK -- The hidden harmony is better than the obvious!! -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
