I definitely agree with Tommy that attempting a HCL would be a bad idea. Thinking about it, perhaps the problem itself has changed over the years too - these days the install process will probably complete on any common Intel-compatible hardware, so the question is no longer "can I install Linux on this machine ?", but "will I need to carry out extra steps afterwards to get some functions to work ?" I also agree that getting specific information on particular makes and models is best done by Googling. Perhaps we can usefully make some general statements in the Release Notes, though ? For example, when I install Fedora on a laptop it's almost a certainty that neither the modem nor the wireless card will work, and ACPI is unlikely as well, but our existing documentation doesn't really acknowledge this, or provide positive guidance as to how to go about finding solutions. -- Stuart Ellis stuart@xxxxxxxx Fedora Documentation Project: http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/docs/ GPG key ID: 7098ABEA GPG key fingerprint: 68B0 E291 FB19 C845 E60E 9569 292E E365 7098 ABEA
