[CS-FSLUG] [Ichthux] Loaded Ichthux!

[xxx xxxx]

Yes I have net access. I can go to other websites. When I go to hotmail I 
get what looks like several html strings.

I tried sudo apt-get firefox and it asked for a password. I gave it the only 
one I was asked for, mine. It didn't like it.

Does it ask for a sudo password on install? I could have missed it.

Understandable about the the cd image size. Is it possible to have a cd 
image and a dvd image? Then there is the issue of mirror space though.

If you could help on the password issue I would apriciate it, also the 
hotmail issue. If I must reinatall I will. As for the rest I will continue 
to plug away.

Thanks,
Don T. (not Don P. - I'm MUCH younger, only 40) (LOL!)
