You make this and 1. ;-) I am happy that you had such good fortune. So can i think that you either had previous experience? Or did the research that I mentioned? I did not mean to imply that there are no problems. In any way. Some people do have no problems. Some do have some problems. Some do have major problems. But I still think that someone who is going to install an OS should have some idea of what they are going to do *before* they do it. A problem should *not* be a surprise but an expected to be a problem. And the solutions, if they do exist, should have already been prepared for or dealt with. There are some very helpful people on this list. Unfortunately their help often times get buried under babbling list traffic. IMHO. -- David
