Hello, I got mine yesterday. Came empty so have to install the OS myself. The original recovery disk (linpus) install sooooooo slowly. From welcome to select partition, it took me about 20mins this morning. I can't wait anymore so I aborted it. Is that normal for installation? 20mins from WELCOME to SELECT PARTITION? My friend installed me a windows xp temporarily coz I need to use the laptop this morning. That's when I noticed that the 'network connection' was empty. No broadband, no LAN nothing. I was told that LAN cannot be browsed by default, and I have to get some guides to overcome this. I tried to connect it 2 my home broadband, and of coz it doesn't work. Help me pls... :( All replies are appreciated.
