Re: chicken or egg problem-newbie install question
Alfred,
Thanks for your info, but...
I understand (I think) what apps I need. The problem is that the Mac OS
currently doesn't know how to talk Ethernet. The XP box is on the
internet, but how do I get files from the XP box to the Mac? Or get the
Mac talking Ethernet and download the files on the Mac?
I also have a Linux machine at work that I could use if it will help, it
is on the internet.
Thanks,
Lincoln
