Another alternative is to try Linux by using an installation that installs into Windows itself. Probably the most obvious is www.demolinux.org. I have a heading in my bookmarks file called "Linux that needs no ext2 partition" that has eight entries. Look at http://www.skypoint.com/members/escargo/bookmarks.html and search for that heading. (But only if you don't mind waiting for the whole, real, bookmarks to load, about 1/2 megabytes). dsc --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
