CD copies that came with my subscription are fine. You can contact their customer support for a fresh copy. They are pretty good about such things. I installed the extra-lite version only and did not encounter any probs during installation. Spot tested the "xtra-lite" apps and they seemed to be working fine. Nevertheless, I agree about hardware detection. It did not recognize the well supported SB Live! 5.1 card in my system nor did it recognize the embedded AC'97 compatible sound - SuSE 10.0/FC4 does recognize them. I plan to install to other configs over the next few days and see how they stack up. -- Arun Khan Linux is like a wigwam - no gates, no windows, apache inside -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
