ubuntu 606 live configuration for internet and lan connection
-ubuntu 606 desktop amd64,
-PC amd64 CPU, nvidia 6150 based mb (foxconn) booted live and desktop displayed ok with ubuntu 606; didn't install it to hd,
-the above PC is one of 4 windows PC's on lan (2 wired including this one) connected to a router and dsl broadband to internet; an access point is connected to the router where other 2 PC's are connected wireless (infrastructure) to the lan and internet,
-I'm fairly new to linux world; at this stage I'd like to get one PC working under ubuntu, experience and grow into linux with an eventual full migration from win to linux on all PC's;
-question -is it possible to configure ubuntu live (boot of cd without install to hd) so that the internet can be accessed and make this PC part of the existing windows lan?
-question -does ubuntu live distro have midnight commander editor included?
-kindly indicate an url where steps to be taken are described to configure ubuntu for accessing the internet (dsl broadband) and the lan. I tried to log in the router from ubuntu live with no success.
-if no detailed info available to sort this problem out any kind of help is appreciated.
TU, peter b.
