Adding a $15 nic isn't easy? I've had problems with particular cards and have done this a number of times. It seems reasonable to expect you could be up and running, networking included, just with the default CD, then upgrade away after that. But maybe there's no PCI or ISA slots, or I'm obviously missing something. Good luck!
