Thanks, Dennis. What a good idea to use a LiveCD to download Windows stuff. I hadn't thought of that! I have 98SE on a small hard drive (for occasional use), and it is not, nor ever will be, connected to the Internet. At the moment, if there is anything "Windows" I want to download, I do so in Linux, burn it to a CD-RW, replace the Linux hard drive with the Windows one (they are on separate caddies) and copy the stuff off the CD. Your idea is much more simple and much better. Keith
