Yes, that is correct.  That is what is running on the computer now.

I did that on this list, but did not get any replies.  I also asked on 
the forum without any luck.  I have searched the wiki, google, and the 
forum and tried everything I found and still have not been able to get 
the wireless functioning.

At this moment I have given up on trying to install something else.  I 
am going to search some more on the wireless problem and look into 
either getting the CD drive fixed or adding in a external CD drive.
