I'd like to connect to internet on my laptop by using my cell phone as modem. This cellphone has bluetooth and I own usb bluetooth dongle. Are any livecds (livedvds or whatever) that are already preconfigured that I could use for this?

Why do you insist on using a LiveCD? Also, why won't you state what distro you currently use or who your cell phone carrier is? – CarlF Apr 1 '11 at 18:01
Because I thought that maybe it'll be easier and preconfigured. My phone is Sagem my421Z. – lorem Apr 1 '11 at 18:08

If you are using ubuntu 10.10 you dont need any thing ,
For Ubuntu 10.04 or other linux distros you need to install blueman

type:
sudo apt-get install blueman
in you terminal

if however you only wish to use it on a live cd get ubuntu 10.10 live cd

I don't use ubuntu. Does this work on some sort of ubuntu based livecd? Any idea? Or install just won't go through if it's not on hd? – lorem Apr 1 '11 at 17:37

Ubuntu installation cd also acts as a live cd , it allows you to try it out before you install it , download 10.10 and make a bootable cd/usb – Shakehar Apr 1 '11 at 17:47
