A little background info here might be usefull since you are going to so much trouble to help me. :-) Although my email address is from Australia, I've had that for more than 8 years. Since then I've moved to Canada as a landed Immigrant. I live in Nanimo on Vancouver Island and attend college here doing an IT diploma. I've worked in Japan for 5 years doing Wondoze stuff and have been trying to get past the GUI since Mandrake 6.0. (Actually paid for it...) As such I'm thrilled to be doing a full semester on Linux starting next January (had to do W2K Pro this semester, and am sitting my A+ Core Friday, and Network+ next Thursday) My instructor for Linux next semester is quite scathing of Gui's and I am keen to become more than just a disgruntled MS guy - so command line is definitely the order of the day for me. By the way, I actually spent 2 seasons in Alberta doing the 'Patch'. Loved Edmonton, even enjoyed the cold. (redefined cold for me...) So a mirror over here would be appropriate. As such I've held off on the NVIDIA driver and other bits until after tomorrows exam. I get excited at the concept of Open Source and will definitely be taking Mandrake Linux into whatever work I can make for myself after graduation. I am however finding the financial constraints of being a student somewhat restrictive for the time being (especially after the free flow of cash from my time in the patch) - thus the download edition. I really do want to reiterate how much I appreciate the extent of the help you have provided, I feel like I am a part of a community, and with this kind of support am sure I can make the step beyond point and click. I'll be harassing you again tomorrow with details of how your suggestions went. Cheers for now. -- Paul O'Rorke [EMAIL PROTECTED] (school) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (legacy/home) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (for MSN messenger) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (for Yahoo messenger)
