Before I purchased my HP pavilion (amd64) I took a liveCD to the store and just booted it up and got everything working, right in the store. If you cannot find all of the device drivers, take a usb flash and copy the results of lscpi, lshw, etc onto the flash device. Copy any other files/data information about the hardware, so you can research the linux compatibility options, remotely. Several trips might be necessary to get everything working.... hth, James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
