Some queries... the answers on HELP on which are not clear enough to me. a) If I find a conflict...what do I do..remove the conflicting driver/whatever? b) Is it best to remove the drivers etc which don't appear relevant? What if I just leave them? c) Do I have to do the systems file thing...my guess is that if I wish to add modems and routing capabilities and dialout etc I might have to get all the system files too. d) When I have to choose the slices etc...do I just let the defaults happen? Are they enough given I wish to make this box a router ? e) Does Microsoft know its been copying UN*X ? ; ^ ) (p.s. it hasn't been doing a very good job!) Thanks for your ears...
