Please guide me now regarding this topic. Should I modify it and write [solved] or something like that on the name?. Should I close it?

Add (solved) to your initial post subject.

A handy way to keep track of temperature:

Tempestuos said Network Wizard, not Frisbee.

even need a setup disc.

The Logitech C110 is really cheap and does fine with Skype.

Tried Precise live cd and usb on a few different laptops and PCs.

It normally used to boot directly to the desktop but now before it boots to the desktop I get some screens asking me to configure the keyboard, graphics card etc. Some Puppy derivatives boot directly.
