Well I have ordered two more Linux books (Running Linux and a
Practical Guide) recommended by others. Also downloaded the entire
How-to html. I believe these will provide great insight into many
general and practical problems, but not this one. All I want to do at
present is set a simple network configuration. Frustrating. There
seems to be no help anywhere at all, in any place for this common
situation. Makes me think I'm much dumber than the average newbie.
Best, Ted
