Yes, it is.  Browsing through the Contents on CD #2, I find that 
agpgart.o is supposed to be part of the base kernel.  I can't find it in 
my installation.

ifconfig gives
[what's in IFCONFIG.TXT]

/etc/resolv.conf is
nameserver 207.217.126.81
nameserver 207.217.120.83

and netstat -rn gives
Kernel IP routing table

I think I understand that the ppp0 is what I'm trying to use to access 
the internet.  the 192.168.2.x stuff is from my lan.  I don't know where 
the 192.168.0 came from.

Hope this helps you help me. :-)
