Actually, at home I am wired, although I also have a WRT-54G that I installed mostly for the phone. But the laptop can connect to it also, and I did so last night when I was in recovery mode without a working wired connection. Connecting to a wireless network from the command line is a challenge. But it was not all wasted effort, as I gained some education about wpa_supplicant, albeit at the expense of frustration. This morning I worked on the X server not coming up but was unable to get it working. I had to spend the whole afternoon at PSU, but I'm home now to work on it for the rest of the evening. If I can't get it working by mid-morning tomorrow I plan to go to Best Buy and get a Seagate Momentus Hybrid. Then I'll go distro shopping and reinstall something from scratch. I'm thinking hard about Mint. For sure it won't be Fedora. Stay tuned this evening for grumbles, and hopefully eventually a cheer of joy. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
