[G4] OS install question

[John Smutko]

Hi Margaret-

If you use setup assistant to move your network settings from the DP  
450 to the Quicksilver it *should* take care of everything  
seemlessly.  Unless of course it doesn't...  That's the setup  
assistant for you.  I would second everything Brian wrote below, the  
only other thing that you might need is the MAC address from your new  
Quicksilver's ethernet interface.  I used to have AT&T as a provider  
(quite) a while back and that was one of their requirements, don't  
know if they still do.

-John
