Thank you very much, I'll give that a try in the morning or evening for you normal
people, I apreciate it! and hopefully I can get linux up and running again pretty
quick here.
My ambition is to someday be able to get rid of everything to do with windows, and
have a pure linux box, but for some reason, I keep running into some game or bit of
hardware that is made for windows, so I end up with something from redmond no matter
what....it's a pain
