It is encouraging that u hav the same bk and loaded it. I fnd out today that the plextor is supported by Linux. I've been up all nite b/c I reformatted my hdd w/o support for lrg disk and I cld not restore frm the backup cd. Backup kept telling me that I had to register w/it my backup and right now I have a genric cdrom driver frm MSN on it. I have lgical drvs upto F G=cdrom and H=cdrw.
But I have about 7.5 for Linux and I want to see if I might be able to use wordperfect 8 suite w/ it? I am sure that this version comes w/more programs than I will know what to do with. Like yourself I just want it for the learning experience, its fun for me. Thanks for your input. Did you install Lilo for the dual bootsetup? How does that work?
