[wplug] Re: wplug Vol 2, Issue 16, Message 14, Q: Which distribution to start with?

Just out of curiosity how did you install SuSE 9.0?  I tried it the other 
night using the 20mb ISO image..  The installer loaded fine, but it kept 
trying to locate CD #1.

So I tried the FTP method, but didnt have any luck loading the module for 
my NIC..  

I was impressed with the liveeval of it though.
