OK people, this might sound daft BUT I want to run LinuxLiveCD on my laptop while at work where the only internet is through my 3G on a Touch Diaomnd.

Now I know this work very well in vista, but is it even possible in linux (live or otherwise) if not can you think of any other solution?

The main reason I want to do this is to stop Windows et all, auto updating while I am on 3G (£££££££ :p ). The plan would be use Linux for booting into to do e-mail maybe a little light irc and some web browsing, then back to vista for music and movies and everything.

Well i hope I have explained this well enough

thanks all

I would suggest WMwifirouter. It circumvents needing to directly attach your phone to the computer by broadcasting a wifi network.

I've been using it for a few months with my eeePC and mogul. It's a lifesaver to have internet anywhere via a wifi network you carry in your pocket :P

Hmmm I think you missed the point, I want to connect WinMob to LinuxLive using the internet sharing, mind you thinking about it as I type you might be on to somthing ;)

/me will investigate but would rather not have to buy software
