I got it, installed it, and it's quite nice. The installer wasn't exactly intuitive, but everything went in without a hitch. I downloaded it all in one piece (the 23 meg bad boy), and untarred it. I just ran the ./Runme and said "yes" everything was untarred. After that, the installation is GUI based, and fairly simple. If you use WP8 for windows, this is almost exactly the same. I haven't noticed any differences yet... Peter ------- Peter D.
