To Josh King: Thanks for the links. Should add to my
list of the Presario 2xxx family installations I've
been browsing around from linux-laptop.org...

I've passed that part, thanks to reading the tips at
the sites at linux-laptop.org about the "Legacy USB
support".

Actually, my notebook is already running an initial
Debian install now, using the 2.4.18 kernel... and now
I'd like to try compiling a 2.4.21 kernel, since I'd
like to try out ACPI... that's why I asked about the
2.4.21 kernel package from Debian: does it already
include an ACPI patch, or should I still patch it
manually...?

I also need the exact hardware tech specs so I can
tinker and tune all the gadgets in my system (VGA
card, sound card, PCMCIA, USB, wireless, etc)...

OK, thanks again everyone...
