right, but then that's not a newbie who can do that! :-) recommend: get your whole pc. heck! if you can get the printer as well, to learn how to configure the printer, so much the better. have a modem? bring that too if you wish. hard-disk installs work if the pc is *identical*. i know vipul had identical pcs at his site, so he installed a complex bunch of Oses on one pc, then just did a blind disk to disk copy for all other hard disks on other pcs in less than 10 minutes each. :-) LL _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
