which broadband do u use ? do they provide any packages for installation in linux.

you can download free from rapidshare by disconnecting n connecting again and also u can create shortcut (soft link)

The first page would recognise your ethernet as etho> continue to next will check for connection> till you get to username page. Enter your username like xyz@dataone , remember .in is not required. Next enter your Password. COntiue further without changing anything. Select No when asked for BootUp Connection.
