I don't want to mess with my harddisk which is installed with WinXP so I use a LiveUSB linux. I use PCLinuxOS 0.93a junior LiveUSB and I like it because it comes with development tools.

My onboard ethernet chip cannot be detected by SLAX/Knoppix. These distros also do not include compilers, therefore I cannot compile network driver and cannot access the internet.

PCLinuxOS also cannot detect my onboard ethernet, but PCLinuxOS 0.93a comes with compilers, I am able to compile + load the driver and now I am connected to the internet browsing with Konquerer.

The problem with PCLinuxOS 0.93a junior is bad sound and unable to shutdown/reboot. I am using a headphone to listen to mp3 song and the right part produce bad sound (left part ok). I don't have this problem when I use the mp3 player of SLAX or Knoppix.

I installed Fedora Core 6 on my hard disk because it allow me to not write to the MBR. I use NTLDR to boot dual boot FC6 with windows xp.

I like ubuntu more than FC6 because apt-get is better than yum, but the ubuntu installer can only write to the MBR, so I give up ubuntu.
