Debian Install Newbie Tips

[Robert Bushman]

Ahhh, just the answer I was looking for. How
will this affect the other modules I specified,
like cmpci (my sound card), ide-scsi (to
emulate scsi for my burner), and eepro100?
Would they have been set up as external modules?

Any thoughts on whether this will work with a
dual Athlon? (is the MP architecture manufacturer
independant?)

 you need it?  Linux will, and you have the source to prove it.
