Hi, Group: Thanks to all who responded with "yeah, it made it this far," etc. For whatever reason, I did not get any 'linux-users mail list' mail for about 48 hours.
I had a catastrophic failure here. Sad to say, it was all my own doing. I sure am getting a lot of experience, though. This next incident is entirely unrelated to the mail famine. I downloaded ISO images of ELX, burned the 2 install CDs, and installed ELX on this machine (to co-exist with Windows XP Pro). "Don't mess with the MBR," says I, but I guess the ELX install program thought it knew better. It fubarred the MBR. I tried to boot the Win XP install CD so I could run the "fix MBR" command from the Recovery Console, but the CD would not boot. Here's where I should have tried to boot the CD in a different CD drive. Instead, I went around the mulberry bush a couple of times before I decided to try booting the Win XP CD in my CD-Writer drive. It booted OK, but by that time, I had already deleted all partitions - so too late to fix the original MBR. Don't ask why I didn't think to try a different CD drive sooner. Dumb, dumb, dumb. So now I am back up and running again in Win XP Pro. Anyone know why I can't open and read mail attachments from linux-users' mail list in Outlook Express? I will install SuSE 7.3 Pro after lunch. Things will go better after my belly is full, right?
