[Gllug] Debain: Laptop.

[Peter Childs]

	I have been trying to install Debain on my Laptop. Mostly because I really 
think I need to know how to use somthing other than Redhat and you lot saying 
how wonderful Debain is.
	I finally managed to get Debain on off the first CD of Woody and its install 
program is not straght forward. I did think of trying the Knoppix method but 
I can not quite remember what that is.
	Problems

1. How do I get my 8139too PCMICA network card working Works fine under Redhat 
but when I try to bring the Network up it says 
SIO

2. Is there a no X Run level under debain I can't find it! 

3. X kills my LCD display and I have no idea what the correct drivers are but 
it works soft of under Redhat. 

4. How do I upgrade to ext3 so I don't have to wait agest when ever the 
machine crashes!

	Help would be most handy.
