What model HP ?



Desktop HP Pavilion a530n Athlon64 3200+ (2GHz) Networking I can't answer, never done it. The 9-in-1 card reader will read my sans disks from my camara.

.

The main things to try are:

   * network
   * USB
   * firewire (if it has it)



If you remember the model number sfor the Gateway and Compaq
please post them so I can create an appropriate annotation
in the document I'm building.



Compaq R3306US


This is the one that wouldn't boot a normal iso and you did the one to get past the keyboard.
It would boot with that iso, but the laptop's keyboard would not work after boot. If a usb
keyboard was attached and then booted the usb keyboard would work, but could not get the
laptops keyboard to work even then.


---------------------------------------------

Gateway 7422GX (AMD64 3400+) I hope to install this weekend as a dual boot till I am sure it
all works and I can learn enough to set-up a network.


Specs here: https://www.gateway.com/home/products/ret/ret_7422gx.shtml

Running the live cd

ifconfig recognizes:
vr0
fwe0

Card reader reads Sans Disks from camara
USB cordless mouse works
Read and write to SanDisk USB cruzer mini

Has firewire, but not tested.
