of course I have a question too. Thanks to those who helped me get up and running. I tried to send this out earlier with a different question which I have solved but I am thrilled to be using zipspeak even though it is a stripped down version of slackware running on umsdos. my question is has anyone used freeamp and how do you use it? I have it installed and got some errors but need to know how to get it to look for a song etc? Thanks! -- Linux Rocks!!!!
