My suggestion would be to use Ubuntu to get a basic installation, and add the DeMuDi packages on top of that. Ubuntu should streamline the hardware detection & configuration process quite nicely. The DeMuDi packages could be part of Debian (Unstable/Testing?) already, so it's just a matter of updating the sources you download from.
you mean I can simply add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://demudi.agnula.org/packages/demudi stable main
and I can happily install the demudi kernel and stuff? that would be NICE!
I recently tried ubuntu, fedora C4 and debian; ubuntu was the only one correctly self-configuring all my hardware (hp nx6110 laptop)
ciao, davide.
