It's about iPod something, as you say -- and that right there bewilders me. Maybe it's me : I don't do sound on computers, and have never seen reason to so much as find out what an iPod is. (Something between a cell phone and a transistor radio, isn't it? I can't get any radio here that I want within my hearing, and keep my cell phone turned off except to call out -- very rarely.) So I can't imagine what it has to do with GPS waypoints .... But maybe there's some other way, if a CD and sneakermail are harder than they sound. There are four Fedora 10 PCs on my desk, all behind a USB KVM switch, and all on my LAN; one of them has the additional XP hard drive, which I suppose may be on the LAN, too. I can boot that machine, of course, to either OS, but not both at once, afaik. All of them have Wine or can get it. The XP laptop (a T42 Thinkpad) is also on my desk, and I suppose on the LAN, though not presently behind the KVM switch. (It picks up my wireless connection -- sometimes -- and certainly uses an ethernet cable from a hub inside my router.) I have Samba installed on (I think) all my Fedora machines; if not, I can install it in minutes. I just haven't ever had occasion to use it. (I literally boot to XP *only* for the map software, and for only as long as I have to. If I want a screenshot of a map I've made, I email it to myself : inefficient, no doubt, but free of a learning curve.) -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, cantankeroous curmudgeon Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.
