[Novalug] Need help to install CentOS on HP laptop on saturday. Before 930AM? Or after10 am meeting?

[gregory pryzby]

I know that Ubuntu and OpenSUSE 10.3 have excellent out of the box
support for lots of wireless, although you don't say which wireless or
version of centos you are trying to install.

Defrag the hard disk NOW and move everything towards the front so it
can be repartitioned on Saturday.
