Most of your issues are related to the kernel version and Lenny may well help with that. Calling Lenny "experimental" is not really correct. We are very close to release and there will be very few changes before we do. Even at other times the "testing" suite is considered suitable for daily use - primairily for desktop/laptop systems - by users who are comfortable with occasionally fixing package conflicts and dealing with minor regressions. If you would like some info on whether your hardware is supported, please send us the output of the command 'lspci -nn'. You can run that during the installation from a debug shell after switching to VT2. Cheers, FJP [1] http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
