Debian is on the system successfully.

The system is running _ash_, a BASH clone.

What steps do I need to take to

1. Get the machine to become part of a
network

2. Download Xwindows

Then it will be on to downloading SetiBoinc.

Good luck with that... I personally do not like Debian - but then again every linux user has his own set of morals on the issue so don't listen to any of us! :)

> 1. Get the machine to become part of a network

Plug in the network cable. If you are using a network card that is recognized by the kernel, there should be very little intervention required. Might have to do 'dhcpcd eth0' or so to get it kick started with an IP address but probably not.

> 2. Download Xwindows

Install xwindows before BOINC? are you crazy? :)

Network cable plugged in. The set of lights on the hub are on for
that port.

dhcpcd eth0 gets dhcpcd not found

I've still got blood on my clothing from the last person
who asked me that ;)

Thanks for the rest of the information.
