You are absolute correct. I didn't read enough. I truly didn't think it would be this complicated. I used to think I was more computer literate. OK, one last question before I start my reading. Some of the files in the list are bigger than what fit on a floppy. I can download them to my Win machine but any suggestions on how to transport them to the Linux box? I do have a CD burner but again - have been to lazy to use it much. I think I've made a total of two CD's. Any other sugguestions besides the CD burner?
