Mepis Linux Installation

After my deception with Windows vista asking me to validate the product, I decided to install Linux Mepis 8 over Windows.

see the pic

So I downloaded it here:
http://www.mepis.org/

SimplyMEPIS-CD_8.0.12-rel_32.iso

created a CD burning the iso image using IMGBURN:
http://www.imgburn.com/

SetupImgBurn_2.5.0.0.exe

rebooted the system putting in BIOS booting from CD.

Live CD linux Mepis run before windows.

I partioned the Hard disk putting 1 partition ST3 and 1 swap partition.

Installed Linux on this partition

and checked the installation (my old 2 windows xp and linux)

I also configured the network for my peer2peer network.

-Tested ping command for both sides linux has firewall blocking pinging.
I set up the ip using this command: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.4 netmask 255.255.
255.0
