I have a w98se PII old machine with limited resources, set up for DSL and plan to put a Linksys WMP 54G here. Have a Dell Dimensions XPS T450 450 MHz with Deb woody-bf2.4 stable that I plan to hardwire to 2Wire wireless router/DSL modem after getting networking setup. The WMP54G is linux compatable per guru at the place of purchase. Would like to setup net/DSL on woody and upgrade via DSL if possible. Plan to put the wlan adapt on windows to avoid any conflicts. Related to this is what to select in base-config for setup with networking, desktop, webserver, mailserver, etc,? Used desktop prior to networking and not sure what Deb conventions are on this. I don't want to be a web or email server, just have a lan with 2 pcs on it and both accessable to DSL. Currently woody is broke with no X on kdn and kde gui after a new install with CD's and dependency/broke package issues. Haven't got X fixed but have resolved depends/brokens with aptitude gui.
