(Who's update model I think sounds good!) Wish me luck!! If you can handle such large downloads, then try all three. It's probably about the right number to try, without being driven around the bend. You can find live discs, which will boot up from a CD/DVD that you download and burn, but don't have to install to a hard drive. They can be slow, and not always demonstrate a system that will work the same as a normal installation. But it's a start. And most of them do allow you to use them to install to a hard drive, as well. If you have a big enough hard drive, you can partition and have a bash at multi-booting, or virtual machines. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
