Andy, There is a PSKMail live-CD image available: http://pskmail.wikispaces.com/live_distro If you burn the image to a CD-R (as an ISO image), you'll have a bootable CD that will run Linux and PSKMail directly from the CD, without touching anything on your computer's hard drive. Once you're done, you can reboot, eject the disc, and everything on your computer is still exactly as it was before. I believe that the disc also has some way to easily install to a hard disk should you choose to do so, but I'm not sure. As long as the PC can boot from CD-ROM and has >= 256MB of RAM, you should be fine. I've never actually tried any of this myself, so if you run into troubles, the PSKMail mailing list is definitely where to go: http://pskmail.wikispaces.com/Mailing+list best & 73, -chris N2YYZ
