This was a couple months ago, so I don't recall the details. I spent an
entire evening on it, going through everything I could scare up from HP,
Sane, PCLOS, and Google. Wife (not into 'nix) was harrumping over my
shoulder the whole time. (The install I had in place was sweet --
PCLinuxOS 2008 MiniMe with everything a typical home user would need or
want, and it ran like a scared rabbit on a 1.2GHz/384MB.) I blew it up,
loaded XP, and washed my hands of it. Wife takes the support calls now.
