Re: almost booted a K420...

Hi Guys,

I just read your replies.

But before this I did try GENTOO.

wallah! :))))))))))))

works out of the box. ( cd).

i haven't done the full install yet but i'm very pleased
that it boots a kernel.

PS i even tried gentoo on an IBM/RS6000 that i've never
been able to get debian to boot on also. and it worked too!!!:))).
double christmas:).

so gentoo gets my thumbs up at the present.

it's disappointing that debian never comes up with the stuff
on these machines. But never mind.

thanks,
Paul.
