<DIV>Hi, Alex</DIV>
<DIV>Ok I see, yes the book mentions and explains it all in detail, I just have not gotten that far in the book yet. Sounds cool, ah will look into all that and see. I think that is what cd's 3 & 4 are that came with the book? CD 1 is installation boot, CD 2 is Live Filesystem, CD 3 & 4 are Extra Packages. Sounds cool, can't wait to get it installed and learn how to use it. I really want to look into whats on the web for it as you say and play around, hopefully while not screwing it up!</DIV>
