In which case, you'll have to install. I just selected the desktop configuration. Didn't see any selections for packages. Anyway, I loaded Fedora Core 3 on it instead, since that ones a little easier to work with, me being an ultra noob and all. I've installed the sound and network drivers from Nvidia, but I have not figured out how to configure them. The sound is not critical, but this box will need network access. Its a Nforce 4 chipset MoBo made by BioStar. It uses a Realtek 8201BL PHY Network Adaptor. If anyone can clue me in on how to set up this NIC, pleas let me know.
