Yep, or just shift+click on the link.  I just did it real quick but it
would be cool to modify as a shut-down screen with a phrase something
like 'It is now safe to boot into your _real_ OS'.  Or something. 
This may be getting off topic and since the list is already extremely
busy...

 Guys,
 
 Apparantly your browser isn't configured to automatically handle
 .bmp (bitmap) files.  If you are using Netscape, you can right-click
 on the link, then select Save Link As... and save the .bmp file
 somewhere on your disk, and look at it with an image-viewer
 program.  Other browsers should have the a similar option.

I think their response might be that they don't have a link to right-click
on: they have a URL written on some screen (or even a piece of paper). The
URL ought to point to a page of HTML with the binary file's name as a link
within it.

But I like your unintended smiley (albeit upsidedown) in the original posting:

 root directory (C:\).

Hi David, agreed - I've become so used to HTML mail readers that I
forget everyone isn't using one.  I was in too much of a hurry it
seems to get it on the internet and my geocities space was the only
space accessible from behind my firewall here at work.  I will put it
on my Debian logo site @ http://www.cyberhighway.net/~gsinglet/ as
soon as I can and put a thumbnail / link to it.  I'm also cautious
about spamming the list with references to my websites.  I suppose I
was also _assuming_ that anyone interested in a '9x startup screen
would be using one of those so called operating systems at the time
and most don't use Lynx, Elm or Pine under '9x.  Thanks for the
reminder and my apologies to all.

Regards, G.S.
