SuSE 7.3 gives you the ability to do your initial setup w/out activating your network card at all (the default is inactive)...after your confident your linux install was successful you can easily run the Yast2 utility to walk through the network activation...

I never heard of either of theese options, I guess that I am still a Linux newbie.  Refresh my memory...to get to select from LILO you would press TAB before OS begins to load?? Then you would type "linux single" ?? What is linux single mode??

Thanks

Yes you can press TAB and whatever the label is for your linux boot type that plus "single" at the end of it.  This will boot your machine in Single User Mode (init 1).  Runlevel 1 does not start networking or any other daemons, it's basically a maintenance mode (same goes for any other SysV like *NIX).

He's not running SuSe.  BTW, why doesn't SuSe provide an ISO image of their i386 version for free?  They provide Sparc but not x86...

Thank you everyone for all your help.  I think now I might be able to get linux on to my laptop. Now for the hard part....finding time to do it!

I have tried Mandrake, RedHat, and SuSE.

Mandrake is easy but, not easy enough,
RedHat can't even spell easy.
SuSE is the most awesome distro of Linux ever.

I would say they don't provide an ISO free for the same reason that u can't get Opera with no adds for free. They are both just too damn good to be free. SuSE is definietely worth $40, go out and try it, I guarantee you'll never look back to Mandrake and definitely not RedHat ever again,

Hell, SuSE linux even has a partition resizer for all Unix/Linux partitions and FAT partitions. So now more reformatting windows. (even though that is the only way it works even halfasses)
