I couldn't find the book at the bookstore, 'tho I suppose I could order it and get it in a day or two. I've decided to repartition the drive, leaving the Windows ME and adding a partition for Linux. I happened to have a Mandriva DVD which I'm trying to install now. The "live" version seemed to work fine, it looked like an easy-to-use distribution. I'm having some trouble with the installation. It goes through "Copying files..." (to the hard disk), but now the installation status window is blank, the DVD is spinning, the hard disk light is blinking, but nothing more appears to be happening after 30 minutes or so. Have to see what happens, I guess. Or give up and try Mepis or Ubuntu. Kraig
