Blast,
I've got my Linux PCP 2000 CD Burned, but I cannot yet figure out which kernal
goes with
which boot disk ;-(. I ether get a hang when it's supposed to boot into Linux,
or
a Kernal Panic.
One thing I can say which is good for AA17's debain installer is that it at
least works and
find all/most of your hardware. Shame the installer doesn't seem to work..
Oh well, back to the drawing board, I'll RTFM a bid more ;-)
Regards
Andy Barker
