Thanks to all that offered advice on this. I solved all my problems and
for a few bucks ebayd a MOBO for my homeless CPU and a CPU for my brainless
MOBO along with a few sticks of memory. I guess I will just end up with 1
extra machine built from my piles of used parts.
But I should be able to find homes for them. This is starting to get a bit
interisting. I live near a small town , population around 500 with other
small towns around it, the kind of place where everybody knows what all is
going on around town and in the surrounding area and I seem to be 1 of the
only people around that can build or repair a computer for 20 miles around.
It's kind of a part time job or hobby at this point. People around town are
are starting to talk about their ML boxes and people are starting to ask me
about ML. I build at least 1 computer a month sometimes a lot more that is a
linux machine for someone around here. Thats not a lot until you figure in
the small total population. Another year or 2 and Norfork Arkansas and the
surrounding area may have the highest percentage of Mandrake linux users in
the US. The effect seems to be snowballing and I am enjoying seeing Microsoft
getting their butts kicked on a local level. LOL
Thanks All
