Hello Micha, Sorry for my vast ignorance in advance. i clicked on the link you provided for the osg dvd and burned a copy to a dvd. Should I now download a copy of Linux to an external hard drive and open QGIS from there? The external has 1 terra byte storage with 500 gigabytes unused space. I tryed to run the down load from the shortcuts placed on my startup screen but, alas, no luck. thanks again, J.R.
