While rummaging through some old CD's I stumbled upon a Zenwalk 4.2 labeled one, which reminded me that last year I really liked that distro, but due to some BIOS problem on my laptop, it didn't behave the way I liked. Now, a year later, I was willing to give Zenwalk another try.

Since last year both my laptop and Zenwalk have evolved. I flashed my BIOS with the latests version available on the HP site and Zenwalk has reached the 5.2 milestone.

I did the test on my HP Compaq nx6325 without a wired Internet connection.

Installation
I booted the newly burned CD, selected the appropriate UK keyboard and let Zenwalk take over my whole hardisk. The installation went smoothly, root password and user account, Lilo, localization 'Nl-Be (Dutch)', UTC clock, acknowledging some copyright issues... all went smoothly in less that 15 minutes.

The whole install process is very simple and gets good marks for that.
