Pann,

Great recommendation!  Sys Rec CD is chock full of good stuff!  All the 
sys tools you'd ever want (partition mgrs, file sys utils), plus gui 
stuff like X, Window Maker, and Firefox - and even boot tools like 
memtest and freedos.

Worked fine from my thumb drive too, btw, and only took up 122MB.

Thanks again!

DR
