        the Network control panel applet.

14:24 - Got bored trying to install a network card under Windows 98 and read Red Hat
        installation notes

      Config: Hard disk       : Generic IDE
	      RAM             : 128Mb
	      CD-ROM          : Sony CDU701
	      Network card    : NE2000 compatible
	      Mouse           : PS/2, Microsoft
	      Display adaptor : ATI 3D Rage Pro (atir3) (from Windows 98)
				ATI Xpert 98 8MB AGP Video Card (from documentation)
				see http://www.atitech.com/products/pc/xpert98/index.html
				The chipset is 264GT3, Mach64 series

15:35 - Booted machine will Linux boot disk. I used the following options
	Language : English
	Keyboard : uk
	Installation method : Local CDROM
	Installation class  : Server
	SCSI adaptors       : No

	(Pause while I try and find a driver for our graphics card)

	Redhat installed packages onto the disk

	It spotted the mouse and I said it was a generic PS/2

	It spotted our graphics card.
	- Generic Monitor
	- 8 Mb of memory
	- Selected modes we would like
    and set up a XFree86 server.
	

	I said that I wanted LAN networking and that it should try NE2000.
    Couldn't find the card!!! I cancelled network setup.

	Root password set to ********** (ask Myles!)

	Created boot disk

16:30 - "Congratulations installation complete"

16:33 - Linux rebooted. "localhost login:". Logged in as root.
	    Started 'X'. Got a grey screen with a cursor which respondes to mouse
        movement. That's all the response I get, though!

18:38 - (Hard) rebooted. Linux checked the disks

18:52 - Used 'startx' instead! Got an nxtern. Very exciting. Had a poke around.

19:33 - Reinstalled Linux to explore packages and see if I could get the network card
        working

19:45 - Installation hung. Rebooted.

20:15 - Installation hung. Cleaned CD with my sleeve and rebooted.

21:20 - Installation worked again. Still didn't find the network card. I also didn't pick
	    any 640x480 mode, so X didn't start properly

12:52 - Re-installed to try to see if a network installation would somehow detect the
        card (it did when I installed Linux on little!) but it didn't.

23:44 - Tried another network card. 
    	IP address - 192.168.0.9
	    (default mask, gateway etc)
    	name       - newbox
	    domain	   - paneris.co.uk

    	Installation complete. Rebooted

00:05 - "ping newbox" returns "64 bytes from 192.168.0.9"
	    See a newbox under Mygroup in win95 Network neighbourhood

00:20 - Re-install to alter monitor modes
01:08 - Got altavista on netscape

14:00 - Telnet very slow. Turns out to be a reverse DNS problem. Altered
