Thanks Dan. That's useful info, but until I am able to install Debian
it's a little theoretical :-)

My problem is that the installation stops at the "finding disks" step,
says it can't locate a driver and could I help, from a comprehensive
list of devices. I paraphrase the question as the m/c is now turned off.
