thanks to all - Steven Stern and Roger Sowerby in particular - for help with the CD burning issue - Roxio worked fine, but disks two and three were corrupted - which I didn't find out until the middle of the install process. Helps to follow directions and do a media check on all disks, which I neglected to do. I did run across the dreaded XP/FC2 dual boot problem - and tried a couple of solutions which I found at the weblogs.oreilly.com and lwn.net - neither of which worked for me, but then again I'm really new at this and didn't understand all the instructions. So, Windows wouldn't boot. I haven't seen this solution mentioned anywhere else, but it worked for me. I did a clean install of FC1 and voila! I do want to give FC2 a try - anyone have any recommendations re:installation which will work for a person who's really new to this?

I also want to thank those who are welcoming to newbies on this list. I don't understand a lot of the technical mumbo-jumbo, but have seen a number of things come through which will be helpful, just in my one day on the list.

Thanks again all-

Mike
