The HDD is only 4gb as far as I know. Now what you're suggesting is perfectly feasible Bascule, except I tried this on my own desktop machine not long ago & had zero luck with the installations. I gave up & just went back to doing it by booting the CD's themselves. Now, iirc when I did it on the desktop machine, I had copied all files from the CD's onto the HDD (Not in ISO format) into one big directory. Any idea on how to do that & make it work? Or using the ISO Idea...same thing. Because I sure couldn't manage to make it go last time. Femme
