No problem.
As soon as I fill all 5 partitions... I'll burn them to CDs and
start-off again with 5 empty drives. ;-)

Also no problem. ;-)
Only takes a few seconds to....
1) Alt+E
2) add needed mime/type to mime.cfg
3) exit<enter>

Yep, it's worth it.
My connection to the net is "unlimited". What I mean by this is that I
can be connected 24/7 at no extra cost.
The only limitation I have is that CisNet "kicks you off" at 7 hours.
(must redial and reconnect for another 7)
So, some of the bigger directories might require more than 1 dial-up.
