BL3 tulip.o does not work with onboard Accton NIC (device or resource busy). 2.4.31 kernel tulip module (with crc32) does work in BL2 ext2.
(Slitaz finds and loads the module, Puppy lacks the module).

It appears that kernel 2.2 is needed for the modem, not newer, and kernel 2.4 or later is needed to boot BL2 ext2 and to use the tulip onboard ethernet. And none of these work with pcmcia or USB storage.

Don't know if OSS sound works, but ALSA does not. XP sound works.

Apart from lousy speakers and no mike input (built-in mike) works in XP for piano tuner and DVD player. And for selected aspects of selected linuxes. Most of our Compaq/HP laptops have been a challenge for use in linux. If possible, stick with Toshiba, DELL, IBM, or even Gateway and Hitachi (other than sound).
