Hi, Susan, 1. When you got WP Linux, did it come on an installation CD? 2, If so, do you still have the CD? 3. If the answers to both 1 and 2 are yes, please mount the CD and see if it has installation instructions in the CD's root directory. It will almost certainly be a file with a .txt extension. If you find that file, skim it to see if it says what flavors and version numbers of Linux it can be installed on. Please report back on this. 4. Also, please launch WP Linux, and on the Help menu select the option that has "About" as its first word. That should produce a message box that includes the program's version number. Please put the version number in your reply. (There were different versions of WP 8 for Linux, v. 8.0 which was released in 1998 and v. 8.1 which was released the next year, then reissued in 2004 in two different versions, a free download version and another version with more features that cost money.) We'll be in a better position to assist with that information.
