Hi Doug, I may tap on your door privately if I may? this new talking installer has me excited that I may *finally* have a chance to do this on my own. I have been hunting Linux talent for years without success here locally. I have both an IBM 600 duo core system, my choice for this experiment, I know more about it lol. and a custom built Linux box, with nothing on it whatsoever, which may be less trouble but less fun. I have a friend burning the cd images for me, a functional dec-talk express and am gain to go at it, with all the positive reports feeding my hope that after all the years of being a reader I may be a users too. Besides, I like the name ofyour machine! Thanks, Karen On Mon, 2 Apr 2012, Doug Smith wrote: > Hi, there.
