Now you've done it!!!! You just touched my first (linux) love; Slackware. I'll beat the daylights out of you given half the chance;) Hahh, I've even still got the huge Walnut Creek "Linux The Advanced Reference" book (or is it bible?) right up front in my bookcase. All the Howto's in dead tree format...just love the feel of it:) Slack was my first encounter witj linux that actually stuck (Mdk and Suse certainly NOT, at the time)......Check out slack-live or slax: live distro's that'll run on anything 386_up. If knoppix or whatever won't run on it, slack or slax will! OpenOffice included at all;) -- Good luck, HarM
