About a week ago I decided I would try out Linux. I found a bunch of recommendations for PCLinuxOS and so I decided I'd download it. I got the ISO and burned it to a CD with ImgBurn and did the verification thing and it said all was fine and so I turned off my computer, rebooted it, booted into the live CD and opened the installer. It had no trouble (it's installed on an external USB hard drive), but when it gets to the networking portion it freezes up every time, whether I select Ethernet (we're running Fast Ethernet) or Wireless (802.11b).
What do I do? Would trying another distro help?
