The neighbours PIG is a Acer Aspire 7220 with a GeForce 7000M
which is not supported under Etch.
Same for the nVidia Sound and Ethernet.
Not eve the pig of a backport called linux-kernel-2.6.22-3-686
bring the stuff running!
And NO! -- I will not install Testing or Unstable on a computer
of a TOTAL COMPUTER NEWBIE which has nothing to do with a computer
as surfing the Internet, writing letter and reports and hear music.
