Most Slackware distributions run on the Amillo D-7830&#39;s hardware...<br><br>Slackware 9.1 is confirmed, but it is an old kernel.<br><br>Debian fires up on a D6830 but suspend to disk and suspend to ram do not function.<br>
<br>I will keep looking up information, to see if kubuntu/ ubuntu. As for replacing the distribution&#39;s files, I do not know. If you get the chance, try and download the alternate installation cdrom, if&nbsp; you haven&#39;t tried that yet, because it sometimes fixes a good load of bugs, i do not know how, but when the gui installer didn&#39;t work for me i used the alternate installer and it went through fine.

Hi All<br><br>OK so I&#39;ve come by a Fujitsu Amelo D-7830 P4 3GB every distro I tried<br>refused to install even Live CD&#39;s seem to just sit there. There is<br>nothing wrong with the ROM drive to be fair I think its a BIOS issue
<br>(Gonna flash it tonight) Anyway I finally managed to get Mepis<br>installed on it by pretending it was an old machine from the &quot;Install<br>Choices&quot; section the installation is now fully updated.<br><br>I&#39;d like to get the latest Ubuntu/Kubuntu on it but this looks like it
<br>can only be acheived via the Internet can I do the -dist-upgrade trick<br>like you can do with Hoary---&gt;Dapper?<br><br>My plan is to edit the sources.list and give the Ubuntu 6.10 repos<br>1. Will this work?<br>2. Will it replace Mepis with Ubuntu?
