Re: Compaq Desktop Presario 5240 install question.

I don't know the answer to your question, but there is a Hardware HOWTO on
the LDP site or any other HOWTO collection that lists currently supported
hardware... i don't know how up-to-date it is kept, but it's answered most
of my questions (correctly ;-) so far.

try http://www.metalab.unc.edu/linux/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX.html (sorry, i
don't have the URL of the hardware howto,but it's listed there)
or look on RH's web site- they have a howto collection.
