Installation d’Unbuntu: penser à…

  • installer Ubuntu (…utiliser rsync pour synchroniser une ancienne ISO de préversion téléchargée, afin de gagner un temps considérable. Pour ce faire, suivez ce howto)
  • Prendre la précaution d’installer un navigateur en mode texte

There is one « catch » with Linuxant drivers, you have to purchase a license key to get the modem to operate at its full 56K capability otherwise its limited to around 14K.
