Fry's all in one deals..

[Charlie Bullen]

Hello, I have one of those boxes and the modem is an HSP modem which is not
linux compatible. It works great under windows though. I installed a
different modem in and it works great under linux. I never could get the nic
to work either so I installed a SMC modem that used realtek 8129 drivers.

Re side note I have had good luck with my removable hard drive caddy. I
guess I was just lucky, although the hard drive that I had in the caddy
eventually crashed. I wonder if that had any thing to do with the thing
having been moved around quite a bit.
