Really sorry Steven, I was blinded by the light. <G> 

Roger's suggestion to have a second readme with the scary stuff is 
pretty good.  But I have to admit that even after taking another
brief flash at it (and seeing that I HAD skipped over the easy bit)
I'm still afraid to follow your instruction.
What is going to happen ? Even ASIDE from fear of damage to my already
installed files, I need to know what to expect. I assume something is
going to unpack itself and make camp on my HD. 

If it isn't DOS file system compatible, by what means can I remove it ?

I would feel much more comfortable with that at this stage of my
Linux initiation. Just how much trouble is it ? Could you give us
ALL some idea of the differences ?

Thanks.
