    Thanks for the clairification on all the chips etc. Helps a lot. Once
    things settle down a little with the FC2 T3 I may download and switch over
    but at the moment I'll cut my teeth on this version.

    I am in the process of running up2date but can't seem to tell if it is
    acutally installing the rpms. Time to go searching again through the
    archives.

    Thanks to all, I've got a FUN weekend ahead of me.
