[Imc-cymru] steps to set up page

[ilyan]

There was a free CDs of Ubuntu that would run that Linux on your 
computer off the CD.   And there was a free CD that would put it on your 
computer.   And that could not be easier on a clean hard drive.   
Connecting to the ADSL might be a bit more tricky.  But someone who had 
a router configured to connect to the web for windows found that Kubuntu 
virtually found its own way across the wires.   That was through a 
Billion  ADSL Router.
