Which linux distribution did you install? From what I can see, almost everything should work without downloading any extra drivers. Is there something specific not working? http://www.linlap.com/wiki/HP-Compaq+530 How to get proprietary media codecs varies depending on what distribution you're running.

You might need some proprietary codecs to be able to see and hear proprietary formats like mp3 or .avi. Mikko [url=http://lightlinux.blogspot.com]lightweight linux[/url]
