ay. I also booted into Windows, but found that internet wasn't responding properly (couldn't load web pages, but telnet and mail worked fine). Was Linux perhaps just encountering network problems at boot time, and should I have just waited? Thanks for any information, John Hendrickx

I disagree. The fonts look awful (why can't WP just use the fonts provided by the OS? I've got my truetype fonts working now and they look fine in other applications). WP also insists on using its own printer drivers (what's the OS for guys?), and my printer isn't listed (works with other apps via
