Surely they printed the MAC address on a sticky label on one or more of: a) the motherboard b) the ethernet controller / socket c) the manual d) the box the motherboard came in e) a little piece of paper included in the packaging ? I'm generally used to seeing two labels - one on the

Well, installing twiki isn't that hard, basically you untar a tarball, place some rules in the apache config, edit the twiki config file, and you're all set. I recommend mod_perl on the apache server for speed, though. It has plugins for on-line vector graphics editing, easy polls, etc. And you
