Hi all, I've actually not been near this computer since this morning. I'm taking my temperature as we speak. Anyway, I was just going through all of my email and I received some feedback from a very good friend of mine who installed the WinLinux2000 which I had mentioned earlier this week. I wanted to share his feedback about the d/l, install/ and program itself. I also wanted to ask what may sound like a strange question. Based on my friend's description, it sounds like the entire installation process is point and click (as it advertised). That's a good idea; but I'm debating whether to go that route even though a) I cannot get my modem configured no matter what, have tried everything from pnptools to pci utilities, b) it looks like I have to add a module to my kernel in order to install OSS, which I've never done before. The obvious decision would be to just take what appears to be the easy route, but if I do that, then I haven't really learned anything from the experience, have I? I'm getting another modem that I should be able to get configured this weekend probably. If you had to choose between manual and WinLinux 2000 install, which would you choose, and if you don't mind my asking why? Thanks and have a great weekend everyone! >Date: Fri, 08 Oct 1999 22:34:26 -0700 >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: WinLinux2000 > >MAN!!
