Hello
I was reading a tutorial and it says like that:
"Before attempting the installation make an inventory of the hardware components of your machine. Although the Debian installation system will attempt to automatically detect your hardware, it may not always be successful. Probably the most important pieces of information to record are the IRQ and IO addresses for your ISA/EISA cards, if you have any."
But I didn't get the point of IRQ and IO/
any help
thanks
 
If you don't have an EISA card (and I'm reasonably sure you don't, it's quite old) don't worrk about it. If you do have them, the information should be accessable in the BIOS.
 
I'm with you now...
Yes, you probably right (it does make sense what you're saying).
But there is probably a reason why is that way.
I'll try to find it :)
