partition.

after an 'apt-get install discover' most of my hardware got detected=20
(bluetooth, firewire, sound, usb, ...). i had to install the wireless drive=
r,=20
which was picked up and autoconfigured by discover and hotplug.

except for suspend (apm works a bit, acpi not), everything works fine now. =
I=20
copied the XFree config from knoppix, and i use the opensource radeon=20
driver  ...
