Lazy and really NEW

[jondowd jeffnet org]

Dear Joe,  I too, look forward to the day I can tell my friends 
"Here, just insert this CD in drive D and hit enter ! " 

It would be nicer for me if the Linux-GNU-gnome stuff was a lot 
easier to install.

I've spent a couple of weeks (off and on, of course) installing a Red 
Hat 5.0.  I use System Commander to boot it, as LILO seemed to 
corrupt my MBR (as if I knew what an MBR was last March ! ), and can 
login as root and startx but CAN NOT dial my ISP to download 
Netscape or  gzzzzz or tar balls let alone anything gnome.  

I will enjoy Linux much more when I can dial with it.  Can you HELP ?

Thanks, Jon Dowd
