Sugar's easiest of all, potatoes not so easy - it's starch, so you need to convert it, and it's probably more difficult than other starches. You'll find information in the two manuals in the Biofuels Library: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel_library.html There's good information on ethanol from potatoes in the archives, also on sugarcane - do a search: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/biofuel/messages By the way, I agree with you about Linux - still needs work, but I think (hope!) it's the future. But for now I'll stick with Macs. Best wishes Keith Addison Journey to Forever Handmade Projects Tokyo http://journeytoforever.org/ ------------------------ Yahoo!
