    Just to follow up. I never did get FC5 to recognise the network.
    However, I tried a Kubuntu live CD and that detected it with no
    problem, so I've now installed Kubuntu. The whole process was
    simple, it detected the network and screen (1280x800) automatically
    and reads/writes USB memory sticks. I haven't tested sound yet.

So now I have two machines, a desktop running FC5 and a laptop with
Kubuntu, and both using KDE. They're both connected to the same router.
Is there any _easy_ way to let me copy files between them (say with
ftp?)?


Thanks!
