 	Since then, I managed to get Puppy 3.01eee to install, to 
boot (from a 'geek-stick' aka thumb drive) and to connect, thanks 
to help from the list at

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/index.php?f=35.

 	So, I presume, there must be a driver there; I put the 
live CD into a regular Fedora drive (without rebooting!), and 
found several files : a couple text files, a couple that Fedora 
can't open, and a .gz file which I'm extracting now.

 	What am I looking for when it finishes?
