First let me say that I am pretty new to the world of Linux. I played around with the Live CD for while until I had the right hardware to try and do a HD install.

Mobo: Intel D845GBV
P4 2.53ghz w/ 512mb RAM
GForce2-MX400 64mb AGP video
3Com 3c905b ethernet card
Cmedia CM8738 audio card
HD 60gb Seagate ATA100

I had used the partition utility in the Win2k setup when reformating my drive. After creating the windows partitions I created a 512mb partition to be used as swap (i think i read that 128mb was all that was necessary but I had the extra space to spare). I created another partition 2 gb in size for the install.

I also have a compaq nc3121 network card that works. The only issue I had was my original sound card. ALS4000 chipset, did no twork.

If there is any information which I didnt provide, please ask.

A huge thanks to everyone who helped with DSL Linux. This is really slick!

[edit] oops, forgot to mention I am using DSL 0.9.1 [/edit]
