Asus F8vr - Installing first time

[ernajj]

Hello to all,

 

i want to install leopard on my asus f8vr notebook with the following spec:

 

processor - Intel pro duo P8400

 

chipset - Mobile Intel® PM45 Express Chipset +ICH9M

 

wifi: intel 5100

 

graphic card - ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470

 

sound - realtek HD audio

 

 

 

is it possible to install? and if so, which distro to choose?

 

Every noobie has to start from 0, and i did go through the search looking for drivers to my spec, but didn't find any( maybe there isn't)

 

any how, thanks in advance.

yes, it could be possible. I haven't checked if this wireless card works. You should launch everest ultimate in Windows in order to know exactly the hardware inside your laptop (ethernet, sound,...)

I guess you don't have modded bios, so i think XxX X86 10.5.6 or iPC would be the best releases.
