Hello Yall, I was able to get a fedora 7.0 distribution up and running on my dell 820. I am having trouble getting the network connections to work though. I have found information on how to do it. I am not getting anywhere fast though. I have the Intel 3945 wireless chipset. I also have the Intel gigabit lan adapter. I have attempted to download the source for the wireless and compile, and install it. I crashed in flames, the instructions say that if it fails I have to compile the source into the kernel. I do not think that I am up to the task yet. I thought "I should get internet if I just plug in the lan cable" ho no not for me. I guess my question is do I have to install drivers for my network devices? I have been running distributions that auto detect and install this stuff for me. I am just a little frustrated, I have done a lot of reading, however everything that I am trying fails. later Scott
