Hi All,
I was wondering how hard it would be to create a bootable CD set up to 
network with my laptop would be.  I am fed up with trying to get my 
laptop (with Win XP installed ATM) to network with other machines.  
Networking with other XP machines is difficult and as for 95/98, forget 
it!  I don't have Linux installed on my laptop just yet, but that's 
another post...

The way I see it working is I can have Linux installed on my laptop, 
and just pop this CD in any PC and at least get a reliable connection 
to my laptop for transferring files.

The problems I see are it would have to be set up to run without a swap 
partition and it would need a wide variety of NIC drivers to be of any 
use.  I could always just include drivers for one of my spare NICs, and 
carry it around with me...

I am thinking about coming to the next meeting to get some help with 
this.  is this the sort of thing you guys would be willing to help with?
