Yes, that is presuming you are connected to the Internet by default. I basically had to get most of the connection up via command line. Fortunately I've been using Linux for a number of years.
Needless to say, my friend was not impressed with how hard it appears to get up and running. 5 disks with all imaginable packages (Libranet, SuSE and others) beats having to install over the Internet (because a single CD install like Ubuntu simply limits what you have). Even for myself I'm not enthused by Ubuntu. On 17-Apr-2006 Alan Pope wrote: > On 17/04/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> I installed Ubuntu on a friend's machine and regretted it.
