Kris. The lovely little Sony - ask Dick - is in bits because of the way I had to install Puppy Linux on it. It was a case of take the hard drive out and hook it up to a desktop PC. Due to the vagaries of the Sony design - they, shortsightedly, only ever expected Microsoft Windwoes (yes, it's meant to be spelled that way) to be installed on it. Win 98 was always slower than a frozen treacle man running the 100 metres dash even though that was what was originally installed on it. It's literally just a case of finding the time to put it all back together. It won't take long but it just that 101 other little jobs always find priority. One of those includes running the local Freecycle group and gearing up for setting up a new one :-) I had to get that in because the Sony came from a Freecycle member :-) cost? £0.00 :-) -- ============================================== Don't take it to the tip recycle it via the Freecycle(r) Network.
