Actually, I already have a MEPIS installation on the hard drive, and
of course MEPIS recognizes all of my hardware and installs with no
problem. But I am not totally happy with it, because I lose some key
Debian functions, such as apt-get upgrade (because MEPIS makes some
changes in the kernel, so you can only upgrade when MEPIS does). So I
was sort of interested in seeing if I could get a "pure" Debian
installed.
But since MEPIS is there, I can get information. What kind of
information would be pertinent in this case?
