Try the AMD64 Etch installer from http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/ it has a 2.6.21 kernel so it should have a better chance supporting the hardware in your machine. The AMD64 installer is the correct one for your machine if you want to run it in 64bit mode even though it has an Intel chip in it, otherwise if your fine running 32bit then just stick with what you have not installing the 64bit kernel the Nvidia driver will not install using 64bit kernel with a 32bit system install. > Thanks for helping if you can > > Franck, software engineer Your welcome, Stephen -- GPG Public Key: http://users.eastlink.ca/~stephencormier/publickey.asc
