Paul, thanks for your reply as well. Cutting to the quick & easy, Live is great for playing, familiarizing, & comparing distros (within limits). I'm getting the impression that when I get the chance to download newer versions to USB instead of two year old CD's, things may work a bit better. I have to admit though, that these live CD's have saved my tail section more than once on windows failures!!
