Me? I'm not so knowledgable, that's why I ask questions. I appear to be an "inquisitve idiot" (as BadKarma would say), it's only because I've realized the depths of my own ignorance and am trying to find my way out . . . with some help from you guys hopefully.

Nah .... you're not an inquisitive idiot, idiot's don't admit to their own ignorance :D
I think void and lost answered most of your questions so I'll keep this reply short

Hey, whadya know, I have gaim installed on my machine and it seems to work fine. I don't use AIM/GAIM/AOL or ICQ for that matter as you can tell. Thanks for your expertise in this area.. BTW, I am confused by your "Operating System of Choice" in your profile... What's up with that?

Any advice on what I should do when Linux doesn't want to boot from either CD or boot disk? I've tried finding the answer on various Linux websites, but haven't had success so far. Just thought I'd throw it out here for anybody's who got a spare moment. I made the CD's were ISO files I downloaded off of the Linux-Mandrake website, if that makes a difference.

Nevermind . . . I missed this disclaimer: "Important note: take care to download the ISO in binary mode (FTP). By default Netscape download the file in ASCII mode which corrupt the image." Yup, you guessed it, I downloaded 'em using Netscape.

One more point I would like to bring up as it has not been mentioned yet. Mandrake documentation includes info on what to do prior to installing Mandrake. There are some important changes that need to be made in your bios setup also. The Mandrake docs cover this in complete detail right down to how to get into the bios setup program for the few who have never done that. I highly recommend reading this info before installation it can save you alot of headaches during and after installation.
