If the former, I've got a bit of a Catch-22 since I'd need my wireless link to fetch it, and without it I can't compile my wireless driver. If the latter, I'll want to reopen the "everything" discussion. The only packages I didn't select for installation were those in language support. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL
