    so....
    if i get the live disc to boot...and run....
    can i make the assumption that system will take to linux just fine?
    i havent seen anything about driver errors or nothing like that...
    but hey i'm new to this stuff
    and i know the network drivers are fine becasue i'm posting this
    is there anything i should be checking out while i'm running the live disc?
    I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile.
    I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well.
    I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave.
    I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down.

    hmmm
    well the only things i got on USB are an external drive and my printer
    i dont wanna have probs with the external, that would suck
    but the printer can always go to a parallel port, no biggie
    thanks for the heads up, will check em out tomorrow

    I'm pretty sure that if you have no problems with the live disc then the real thing will work.
    Most hardware will have drivers already there, you can also download linux driversfor a lot of your hardware too.
