How about *some* documentation then?

and I have certainly been guilty of that.

it gets better:  wireless stopped working when I installed the XFCE 
desktop.  When I went back and logged in via Gnome, it was right there.

I'm not exactly a linux veteran, but I had no idea that a desktop would 
interfere with networking.

There's an error message after login, stating that it can't find the 
computer name and perhaps I should put it in HOSTS.  I also just started 
getting this on my desktop, but it doesn't bother anything else.  The 
address is in HOSTS already.


It's always the silly stuff (for which I'm thankful).



Thanks.
