That's great- Thanks for the offer of help installing Mandrake. I still have roughly 7 gig of free space on my hard drive, and I bought the boxed distro of Mandrake 8.2 last week (I went for this because it includes Star Office, and I wanted Star Office rather than open office because Star Office includes WordPerfect filters.) Would it be possible to set up a treble boot, so I can retain my Corel partition? Do I need to bring my monitor also? -- Lee Einer http://members.cox.net/appealsman/
