Basically, I am not willing (nor experienced enough !) to run a system at=20 state-of-the-art level.=20 So I would really like to go with 4.9 (or 4.10) However: my "Satellite" can't even boot any 4.xx CD / Floppy. Boot Process stops with a message complaining about PC-Cards and Controller. (Sorry, no screen-shots available) Running 5.0 works so far (with exception of regular compplains about ACPI) = =2D=20 but it works!=20 Only thing that matters: ports and packages are also out of date. Since I am using my Notebook on a regular base, I fear upgrades and=20 "experiments". Has anybody a tip for me (besides "buy a new one ..." ;=3D) Any hints and help is most appreciated! =2D-=20 Mit freundlichen Gr=FC=DFen Richard K=E4stner EDV-Beratung Woerthgasse 17 2500 Baden Austria
