Comments/Problems:
I must preface this with a note that I am a Linux newbie and may have missed
something.
Everything went smoothly. It even recognized and installed the Linksys
WPC11 wireless PCMCIA card. However, upon reboot and initial configuration,
no networking was available. Apparently, the network info that was
correctly configured during setup was not carried over to the initial boot
up phase or ???
Also, the Installation How-to indicated that the 2.6 kernel was available by
using linux26 or expert26 at the boot prompt. When I tried that, it said no
such kernel.
