Thanks, Ian: I want to download elx, and I don't have a large enough staging area on my hard drive to hold the iso files. I plan to install elx on this machine later, but in the meantime I can delete the SuSE partitions and then resize the Windoze partition to accomodate the large download.
Thanks for your help.
