Hi Bill:
Thanks for taking the time to answer. I've run into more
dependency problems than I am willing to take the time to
resolved on the little feller. I'm thinking that slax might be
worth looking into. I think it might be more appropriate if I
start a separate thread regarding slax.
However, FYI I've used up less than 20% of the disk space on the
asus.
cheers
