Re: Can't find video card



Colin and Damien,
Thanks for the response.  My situation, which you guys, Colin in
particular, may remember from previous posts, is that I'm booting
the system from the install CD.  Which is, I think, taking the 
kernel from the install CD.  All efforts so far to burn a new
bootable CD have failed.  So I assume I can't upgrade and keep the 
boot configured as it is at present which, for reasons not worth 
boring everybody with again, I would like to keep working the way
it is.  If anybody sees a way to  upgrade to Woody and still boot
the way I am, please let me know as it would appartently solve all
my problems and I would happily do so.  Thanks again
