Re: [Staffslug] Here's one for ya (Possibly Kevan?)
Most Slackware distributions run on the Amillo D-7830's hardware...
Slackware 9.1 is confirmed, but it is an old kernel.
Debian fires up on a D6830 but suspend to disk and suspend to ram do not
function.
I will keep looking up information, to see if kubuntu/ ubuntu. As for
replacing the distribution's files, I do not know. If you get the chance,
try and download the alternate installation cdrom, if you haven't tried
that yet, because it sometimes fixes a good load of bugs, i do not know how,
but when the gui installer didn't work for me i used the alternate installer
and it went through fine.

Hi All
OK so I've come by a Fujitsu Amelo D-7830 P4 3GB every distro I tried
refused to install even Live CD's seem to just sit there. There is
nothing wrong with the ROM drive to be fair I think its a BIOS issue
(Gonna flash it tonight) Anyway I finally managed to get Mepis
installed on it by pretending it was an old machine from the "Install
Choices" section the installation is now fully updated.
I'd like to get the latest Ubuntu/Kubuntu on it but this looks like it
can only be acheived via the Internet can I do the -dist-upgrade trick
like you can do with Hoary--->Dapper?
My plan is to edit the sources.list and give the Ubuntu 6.10 repos
1. Will this work?
2. Will it replace Mepis with Ubuntu?
