I cannot be certain, I don't use AOL, but if it's anything like one of my email address where a similar "you must use our install software dictate " prevails, I just ignore it, I assume you still have your windows configuration, then just go there and copy down all the entries in OE , in tools- accounts, and in the dialup dialogue -settings, takes a bit of hand writing but when your got it all together on a couple of sheets of paper go back to Linux and use the info. Believe me you will not get it right first time. Just keep playing around with it eventually you will not only be able to log on and surf the net but also download and sendyour emails. Once you have it right , then back up the .rc file in home directory for your emailer and browser. Then in future all you need to do is overwrite those files each fresh new OS install. Dead quick and simple. It's easier than M$. John -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]
