As I said, I had been put off the Linux Format website by the extremely slow load-times - often 20-30 seconds - so I haven't been there for ages, though I'm surprised it is as long as 18 months. I have just tried it from FireFox and Konqueror, both on an FC6 system and an FC4 system, and got excellent load times. A very great improvement, thanks. I hope I haven't put anyone off using the site by quoting an out-of-date problem, no longer existing. Anne
