I have heard of Ghost before. I saw it on The Screen Savers show a few times. You are right, I hate windoze. I can install it and set up some stuff but I like to run after that. I would rather go to a dentist than mess with windoze. I make a exception for my brother and my Sweetie. May have to check on that. Thanks Dale :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
