I downloaded the "jogdial" applet off of sourceforge. It works OK. I
can't
even download Windows 2000 drivers for the thing. I'm running with the
stock
kernel from Mandrake 8.0 on my Vaio Z505 (2.4.3 I think? - I'm on my
desktop
at the moment. And the notebook is packed up in the car for a weeklong
triip).
The only goofy thing I had to do to get things loaded, besides what's
been
mentioned so far, is to disable probing PCMCIA when booting for the
initial
install. I think the install kept getting a panic until I did that. And,
that
was with an external Sony DVD-ROM drive (which is mostly an overly
expensive
CD-ROM drive under Linux for the moment).
Good luck,
