I have mentioned it on Wolves LUG but there wasn't a response...typical they are probably all on some bloody IM or IRC thing now :-( Ok, for ages (as in a few years) I have been unable to coneect to the web using a live CD or DVD. Any distro' it didn't matter they simply wouldn't work. I wasn't bothered as I had my HD installs and they were fine. A couple of days ago I decided to try the latest Mandriva One 2009 disk. Nice distro' and quick for a live DVD. But wait, I was amazed, nay gobsmacked!!!!! I could connect with no hassle, no altering of configurations in the router, it just worked :-) Why? I don't have a clue. The only things different are that I'm now using O2 as my ISP (£7.50 a month for unlimited dowloads and 8mb speed which is max for my exchange) and I have the router that they sent (Thomson). So I'm happy. I just need to sort out a distro where I can keep Firefox add ons and I can use a live DVD/CD all the time. It is vital that I use a particular add on for my Freecycle stuff. -- ============================================== Kevan Farmer Linux user #373362 Staffordshire _______________________________________________ Staffslug mailing list Staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk http://lists.staffslug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/staffslug
