Im Running HD install of BT5 R3 KDE on a Toshiba Satalite proA300d
Alfa AWUS036NH \ RTL8187

I tried this on CD, USB and HDD install of the above version.

Followed N000b's instructions Sickness...

Thanks! it worked for me too, although root password seemed to change after but probably something I did. Im running a Toshiba Sat pro\win xp\AMD64x2\ AMD Radeon X1250
