Downloaded and installed on an old toshiba notebook which does not support boot from USB (using PloP bootmanager to install from USB). I haven't any problems with the installation. I used Win32DiskImage tool (v0.6) to wirte the image on my usb drive.

The GUI-install is sooo cute big_smile

Thank you corenominal for releasing big_smile

Unbelievable, I can really see a difference.

Thank you for the guide ivanovnegro

Hey spookyz,

my brother had a similar wifi card in his notebook.

$ lsmod

make sure you have firmware-atheros installed, and as an addition to that

$ sudo sh -c "echo 'options ath5k nohwcrypt' >/etc/modprobe.d/custom-wireless.conf"

and reboot.

you're welcome.

I collect old harware for testing purpose. It's always an adventure to see what works or what not. smile

Installed with no problems and impressed.

Finally a working kernel with p54pci firmware drivers. I had no luck in the past with previous kernels to work with the wifi firmware cause losing connectivity and so on. I always had to install ndiswrapper for a stable connection.

Crunchbang will do the job.

I've a similar system running.

Hi,

I'm planning to install the image soon and there is one question.
So in this build the backports are enabled by default does that means that a few of the packages are from backports besides the kernel ?

@Grzegosz & replicant: thank you guys.
replicant, it's tint2. I tried to scale/spacing like windows 7's tray then i add a 1px border and a solid background color. It shouldn't get focus but it should say "I'm still there and active so don't worry ". smile

I decided to share my desktop before november ends. I don't change my configs often because I'm a bit lazy. All I want is a working machine and enjoy to work with it; like listening to music, browsing the web and do some office-stuff.

After a short research on debian's wiki the snd-maestro3 firmware was removed from the mainline kernel. But when you follow straight that guide http://wiki.debian.org/snd-maestro3 your soundcard should work.

I had the same problem with my yamaha soundcard

You have to add the Debian multimedia repositories

Add those lines to your sources.list.

## DEBIAN MULTIMEDIA
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable main non-free

After that you need the keyring because to verify that the repository is a trusted one.

apt-get update && apt-get install debian-multimedia-keyring

than...

apt-get install handbrake
