Setting up network

[Bill Tetens]

I am ready to give up.  I cannot copy to the floppy on the linux machine 
with any sort of certainy and I cannot figure out what is wrong.  I 
tried to set up the e-mail but my e-mail is on netscape and I do not 
have an Imap for it.  Just not my day. I cannot get anything to work.

Finally got a copy and here it is.  Still don't understand just how to 
do it.
