Fun stuff. I also blew a Mint system trying to place this little os into a small partition. Re-installed Mint quickly at work and now back to normal. I'm going to look for some small, low profile, 500 mb to 1000 mb thumb drives to install this on. Very portable and quick. TTYL, gator

Kerry, weird...huh? Assuming your wireless switch is/was already on, is there an icon top right of screen to (or bottom) to click on for network connections?
I'm guessing it is just installing generic drivers because it just asks if you want wireless, but does not know what you have when configuring/loading. I was at work when I installed, and it found the guest network right away, AFTER I clicked on the icon I'm speaking of. At any rate, easy enough to configure another iso and burn a cd to try it.
Cheers!
