Ok experienced laptop users, Installed SuSE 10.0 on this laptop successfully and everything seems to get along quite well. I only seem to have two problems with it thus far. Sound and winmodem. I still believe the sound is hardware related and just needs to be turned on some way. It's looking like that may only be accomplished via software though in WinXP. The modem sets up as /dev/ttySL0, but will not dial out. I get the error: pppd (0) died: pppd options error (exit code 2). I haven't yet tested with minicom, but will do that before giving up on it. Too bad these folks don't have broadband yet, the ethernet port works great! Anyway, any help, thoughts or suggestions are welcomed in getting everything working on this monster. I really would like to convert these folks to Linux. TIA, Lee
