That is if your graphics card or sound card or something isn't supported by your distro. Other wise you'd have to go look somewhere. You can search for hardware compatibility at mandrakes website just incase you ddin't know already: Hardware search _________________________ People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.

If there are linux drivers, great. If not, sure you can download em... There are plenty of sites that tell you how to install such also. _________________________ -hKzKnight "The ghost...
