Yup wilsons guide is a good start for setting up but a bit confusing at
times.
no real troubleshooting on what to do if/when etc.
I'm on my third install, and have highlighted items to do and crossed out
areas that don't apply.
If I can't get a working install this time around, I'll give knoppix one
last try then sadly, I'll have to use a windows based solution for a while.
this is a real beast to install and get working, ... good luck we all need
it.
