 It was a friends computer, he was very ready to switch from MS Windows 8.1
to Linux; I went over, we installed it, and couldn't get up on his
Ethernet, given that the computer could see it.

I wanted to sign him up in this forum after getting up; I went to
fedoraproject.org just now - 9 hours later - and realise that I've
forgotten how to sign up after so long.
