More than welcome, I couldn’t find the exact motherboard on any of the linux HCL's, but I did find another motherboard with the same Broadcom AC131 lan chip, and they said it all worked (in 2007), and the sound is hda-intel so no problem with it under ALSA. Looking again, it seems the 6100 and nouveau don’t get on very well, it might be fixed, but you can use the nv or nVidia binary driver depending and it should work fine, and if your planning on putting lenny on it, nouveau isnt an option anyway :P > Lisi ------ Regards, Angus Hedger Debian GNU/Linux User PGP Public Key 0xEE6A4B97
