The SBLive sure is, by the emu10k1 kernel driver. For the surround sound thingys, you'll need to use ALSA, however. I think the usb modem would work, too, but google would know for sure... > > an internal Zip100 Drive(IDE), a DVD-Rom(16x48), a CD-RW > > Samsung 48x16x48, > Yes, yes, and yes.

The only trick is to remember that you need to mount partition 4 of the zip disks, and the raw device for the dvd-rom. The CD Writing howto explains in squite some detail how to get your cd writer working. It's even easier on Debian though; install 'kernel-image-2.4.18-<arch>', where arch is one of 386, 686, etc, and then load the needed modules. > > a LG 44i Monitor, > Main thing here is that your video card works.

To the OP: all Debian-related questions are welcome here, but you're more likely to get help if you show that you've done work yourself, too. Some tips for when you get stuck: * the installation guide * google * newbiedoc.sf.net * qref.sf.net * #debian on irc.freenode.net * Here :) -rob
