The Partecs Live Demo CD was a working one... It was actually Debian Morphix from the inside... and it could connect to the net easily from the CD itself... I myself was the volunteer incharge at the media centre at WSF... I dont remember you approached any volunteer for help. Our dhcp server was up and running... all u had to do is run "netcardconfig" and that's it... you could have insisted volunteers to make the CD work for you... plus mozilla firebird was bundled on the CD. So there should not have been any problem? Try it at ur home... I'm very much sure internet will work... > as for installing linux, the garden variety of engineers who maintain > machines, install pirated sofware, etc in Well, the buyers of new computers should be educated first... Most of the times it happens that the buyers say, "I WANT ALL THE SOFTWARES"... i've paid you 35000 Rs... and i want everything... what can the poor gardener engineers do? Hey where is ur garden, maybe I can come there... what do you say? rgds, -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
