Not yet - I would like to install 6.10, but am not
sure this would be the best idea if I can't even get
on-line to download updates and packages!

Any other suggestions?
I specifically bought this new USR Sportster external
RS232 modem to be compatible with Linux, so I am a
(little) bit upset. Shame that USR won't let me use my
WinModem card, that I used for years in this machine,
under Linux.

I am hoping to install over the holidays on another
hard disk - I've got to install it first. I was hoping
to have that done by now, but my schedule was thrown
off by this inability get on-line.

I've go DSL coming in a few weeks, and I would like to
get Ubuntu up and working as a known quantity BEFORE
putting the machine on an "always on" internet
connection.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Oh, and Merry Christmas (or Happy Holidays).
