   Now I've worked on installing Feisty on the same two machines.   
      
   I still can't install anything but Linspire including Feisty or Mint on   
   one machine, and Lnspire can't be induced to recognize my wireless   
   ethernet card on that box.  I'll have to research how to do that   
   wireless card install with commandlines.  Ugh, I hate text   
   configurations.  Linspire can see the integrated mobo wired ethernet   
   only, which actually isn't connected.   
      
   On the other machine which is easy to install anything, including   
   Linspire, Mint, Ub, etc, I can easily install Feisty, which is great.   
   It had some glitches on the install consistent with an alpha, but I like   
   its abiltiy to access forbidden codecs and enhanced wirelessness.  I   
   wish I could get it up on the 'bad box'.
