Well it comes with a total back up and restore feature but I really hate the
thought of going there.

Well I have removed all the earthlink stuff and only have a manual dialer
set up. I could use regedit and go through and check for any traces of it.

Thanks! I try to spend a few weeks with her each year. At 82 you would never
her. True grit.

The other thing I have done is to partition the XP machine and make
a ext3 partition of 13gig.

I promised my wife that I would not do this but I'm getting real close to
a dual boot linux XP.

The other machine is dual boot win 98 and rH 9.0 so that way I figure
I could go either RH - RH and try RH -WIN98 since that machine has two lan
cards I would think that I could set up both.

I still feel there must be a way to do this but I just not getting it. Its a
good thing the matrix people aren't depending on me for any networking - ha
