Just about to install linux...

[Chris Norman]

I know what RTFM means, and I just tried it. But to be honest, when in an 
opperating system (windows granted), I have found in the past that figuring 
out things for myself cost me three computers. That's why I tend to ask now, 
just to be on the safe side.

Cheers,

Chris Norman.
