Updated my Debian-on-C1 page [the C1s are a class of Sony laptop]: http://www-jcsu.jesus.cam.ac.uk/~mma29/c1/
I've added some information about getting TV-out working, which I hadn't managed before - there's now an 'atitvout' program which succeeds in redirecting the display (rather than just crashing the machine like something else I'd tried before :( ).
I only got round to trying TV-out under Linux again after assuming I'd need to use Windows, but then failing to get Windows to actually do the Right Thing (as ever). After I got it to display to the TV at all it decided I'd really rather use black-and-white, and then of course it decided that I really must need to dial up to an ISP to access any web pages, even though I already had a network card in the machine, with lights flashing and all....
