outputs of those commands will follow a little later (involves a couple of reboots with different os's if i want to avoid typing them out manually, which i do).

Compiling?!? Now I'm getting worried...
Thanks for the partition size suggestion, Nick, I'll do that. I'd love to go 100% linux tomorrow, but my reality at both home and particularly work won't allow that. In the short term, I am thinking that I can do maybe a third of my things at work on linux, and 80-90% of stuff at home. And over time, more and more.

I think we should adopt the following strategy for roger:
1. try and see if we can get his network card going under his current distro - if we can then he may be happy. He can hang around and get a few tips if he wants.
2. if not, give gentoo a shot, he will learn a heap!
3. if that is a dismal failure too (no reason why it should be) reinstall mandrake and leave him how he was :-)
Roger give me the output of the following commands (executed as root0 on your laptop:
lspci ifconfig lsmod dmesg|grep eth
also, how should the card get its ip address? via dhcp or manually set?
thanks.
