I'd be really interested in seeing specs for your wearable. I've been looking at MIThrill and a variant of Xybernaut's...how much did you have to scale RD 6.2 to fit?

support for the soundblaster range is definitely documented, and debian lists seem to think that as long as it's only SB16 to SBLive! it should be ok, thanks for the pointer.
Debian's own installation howto isn't bad, but remember there are lots of people around UEA to lend a hand if you hit problems.
Read the how-to, made the first wave of disks, tried them both on the NT box and the ancient thinkpad I'm trying to turn into wearable goo, so far so good. Now though, I can't really afford the download time for debian full over 56k (30 more like) dialup. A.Savory mentioned that Brett might be able to help with passing a CD of it to us...would that be possible at all? Would anybody else have the time if Brett can't?
Anyway, thank you both for your help, off to read more Debian lit.
cheers, david casal

take a look at my website, all the specs and how to build it are there ;)

nope, I have a small 1Gig disk, this is a /standard/ version of rh6.2, no cutting down required ;). In my opinion Xybernaughts, while they are very rugged, are a little overpriced in comparision to off the shelf componemts...
