I'm not a windoze user but I would run the command in Gentoo, write down the address, boot into windoze and poke it in < I hate this part> IE and download it. Then copy it over, ever how he plans to do that too. :/ Of course, if he can't or doesn't want to do it that way, I gave him another option, just in case. ;-) Dale :-) :-) :-) :-) -- www.myspace.com/dalek1967 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
