Nope - haven't fooled around with mpeg files yet. > > > Regarding the com ports, I find that have to uninstall/re-install them > > after powering them down. Wierd.

On windows, only use it for the palm when I need to update the Daytimer addressbook. I checked permissions on /dev/ttyS0 and they were ok.

BTW did you > donload the full manual in pdf format ? quite extensive.......... Bummer, I missed it. I was running RH 7.0 with win4lin so didn't need to try anything else until my switch to SuSE. Don't think I'll go back though. It would be nice if they had a single user single instance license of 3.0 like the 2.0 express. I'd really like to keep win2k because I need to use Word for the occasions when my boss ships me an Office2k .doc file that I need to read or update (like our software project plan). ===== _____________________________ Susan Macchia mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _____________________________ - Running Linux - because life is too short for reboots... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
