As I mentioned, I had already installed CentOS on a USB key, using just the first DVD. I was really just experimenting with a hard disk installation. >> Now I have to work out how to install Windows on the machine, >> but I daren't ask about that here ... >> I need it because my ISP claims to have tripled the speed >> of my supply, but says I have to run a Windows CD >> to setup the modem he has given me. > > ?? What kind of modem? Linux handles almost everything. Certainly, I > didn't need to install WinDoze to work with the DSL modem I got from > Verizon. The modem is a ZyXEL P-660HW-T1 WiFi modem/router (made in China). It works fine, but my speed is not 3 times what it was before! My ISP (Eircom) claims I have to run the configuration utility on the Windows CD to get "up to speed". I doubt if this is true, but I guess I ought to try it. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
