lol, new to linux so I'll have to start with the very basics. Don't even know how to access my cdrom :x If I could do that perhaps I could at least then attempt installing the ATI linux drivers. Nor do I know how to install kernal source and header packages. I've been using my knowledge of DOS to help me with the command prompt in white box but thats only getting me so far... well not very far, lol. The two thread links you posted could possibly help me at some point but I'm not quite to those yet.
