Yes, just one. So am I, cos I just read the article in Sysadmin magazine :-) I see that Lucent Orinoco wireless cards are supported (both being from Bell Labs I find this quite surprising :-) and the machine I'm intending to use doesn't have anything else weird in it. The only thing that might give me trouble is that it has a PCMCIA floppy and no CDROM. Here's hoping I can boot off the floppy, then unplug it, plug in a network card, and do a network install. I assume that 16Mb RAM is sufficient for basic use? -- David Cantrell
