Installing Debian Etch on a Dell Latitude D620 [howto]



Hello,

For those who might be interested, i have successfully installed
Debian/Linux i386 on a DELL Latitude D620.. was easy.
(intel 945 graphics card, with 14" 1280x800 screen ; Dell 1390 Wifi
card)

Hints for buyers:
- Choose the one with an Intel Wireless card, which has a linux binary
driver available : The Dell 1390 Wireless DOESNT NOT have a linux
driver.
- Modem if possible (and needed), avoid the Sigmatek modem (you you have
to pay 20$ for the linux driver)

My installation notes are available at :

And an installation-report was opened :
