[Leaplist] Debian on my Laptop

[Hank Lambert]

I have installed Suse 10.2 on a machine at work, and found it installed 
and worked very well. When your computer comes up after a Debian 
install, do you get a command prompt? Also, did you use the full CD, or 
did you do a net install. I have never had a Debian full CD install go 
flawless, and on the same note, I have never had a net install fail. If 
you have the internet bandwidth, try to install Debian with the net 
install CD and see if it goes better.
