3.3 Preliminary checks

Once 2ou have identified the partition on which to install Linux, would be better get information on 2our hardware, in particular mode about the t2pe of! video card sound Aard chipset mother board 1n2 7101 drivers printer special devices (975 H40D, etc ) etc =ote! 0he important information are not the name or brand of the card, for example the video cardEs model, but rather the name of the chipset and $:9 mounted on them 8s alwa2s a good idea have the most information possible about 2our hardware, but this no depends on the operating s2stem, itEs ?ust a good rule Omit this step does not impl2 an2 problem with the installation, but it serves, more than an2thing else, to understand eventual problem in advance
