I make no absolute promises about it, but yes, it should detect the HW all the same. You did not tell me what version of the CD you are running. Each version breaks something and needs to be fixed in its own way.
I'm willing to do the reinstall this very minute!Originally Posted by UnderScore
But before I do, will my laptop be auto-configured with the Debian install as it is now? I mean, I don't have to worry about setting up any of the devices, it figures it all out. Will it be the same under Debian?

I'm using the "latest" version -- it was downloaded just last week for me. The CD is marked Knoppix Linux 9.x.Originally Posted by UnderScore
I'm backing up the old install now -- it'll take about an hour. Then I'll repartition the drive, and install the Debian.
Thank you for your assistance thus far. I'll come back and let you know how things have gone, or if I encounter any difficulties in the interim.
i can't ping and my attempts at setting gateway address failed. but at this point if i do dhcpcd ethx it works. any ideas?
i can see access points on my wireless adapter configuration so i am connected to NIC but maybe name resolution failed??? but in dhcp settings it used gateway address as nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf. wtf??? i tried to set it the same way in command line for static configuration by `ifconfig ethx gw ---` but that doesn't work. it says host name not found!
