Bob, I downloaded minicom and lrzrz via floppy and used dselect to install them. I then logged in from hyperterminal and sent a file using zmodem protocol after issuing the rz command from the Linux box. SUCCESS!!! The highest baud rate my terminal will allow is 19200. As you cam imagine, this will be rather slow :-< I think the next step is to download the packages from the debial site to my windows machine. Is there a free utility I could use to copy the entire directory/ies rather than right-clicking the files one by one? I want to re-create the directory structure on my windows machine so I can then transfer this structure to my Linux box so I can hopefully use dselect to install the rest of my Debian Linux system semi-automaticly. Does this sound like the right steps, or am I missing something here? If you have a better suggestion, please let me know. Thanks again for your help, I feel like I'm on the way to finally learning to use a Real operating system.
