;-) > how do i set this thing up?? I am afraid I can't hold your hand here very much... This is not the world of 'download the executable, start the installer, click on OK three or four times and reboot the machine'. This is *not* Windows. How is your Linux knowledge/experience?

By formatting it with 21 sectors per track instead of 18. This is trivial under Linux and is possible with shareware programs under Windows. > 23/06/2002 10:32:11 PM, Mark Plowman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >Gatesy (family of Bill?), > > > >> From: Gatesy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >> Date: Sun, 23 Jun 2002 21:22:04 +1000 > >> > >> i dont know if this makles sense but anyway.... > > > >Makes sense to me at least... > > > > > >> will the router be a good firewall so i can take zonealarm pro off > >> my main computer to hopefully speed it up abit??? > > > >If your (LEAF?) router has been configured as a firewall it will, > >indeed, be quite a good firewall (truism!).
