Ok my question is-
my ubuntu & kubuntu aren't "seeing " my wireless internet {dsl} connection so I'm not able to go online with either one yet.

I am using both off of the DVD {live DVD} right now -but I do want to install both of them to my old spare hardrive- I do like kubuntu the best tho..

stil using XP for online and a few software pgms for now and future.
but want main online /internet to be thru the linux products soon.

I'll look at linux/kubuntu ect sites for help too.

jo55, you'd have to see if your card is supported. This info may be dated:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...CardsSupported

if you have a laptop, searching ubuntu and the model of your laptop should produce better results from users that have written scripts to get it working.

My new laptop has linux support. Years ago my old desktop did not, so I bored pretty easy with the OS. I was more interested in the networking capability of linux and my card didn't support it.

I have 120gb HD on here, so I should really set it up for some OS fun. I'll give a shout to you, if I run into trouble loading it, since you dual boot fine.

My puter is a generic desktop - LOL - home built
asus MB/ AMD 1.8 cpu
512 ram
2 - 80 G HHD
winxp

I haven't installed the ubuntu or kubuntu on the HD yet - but can use the live DVD disk until I do.

I have the Dlink wireless card - looking at the info now.

cloudz- the kubuntu & ubuntu DVDs both asked me and gave an assorted ways to partition my drives- is was pretty easy. but I don't know how different the fedora version is...

now when my machine boots it goes to a screeen that gives a list of the 3 OS systems Ubuntu, Kubuntu or Win XP - and I pick the one I want.

and I plugged in a cable to my network card and the linux OS are online thru that for now- til my son has time to config the wireless.

Did you look at the fedora /linux website /forums for info on specific settings?

I tried to find Linux books at the libraries around here but they are all cleaned out, might have to buy one for myself.
