Yes, Thankyou
             That also was very helpfull, I had to go and have just got
back to able to read reply's. I dont read stuff that is insulting i just
delete it. But there was alot of reply's that where very helpfull and i  
have
learnt a heap from them. Thankyou very much to all that reply'd with  
patience
and understanding. And to them that didnt this is what i have to say
"        "

Yours...Ben
PS
  Thankyou chad.
I will attempt to install gentoo as i believe that it is going to be
more what i need, A dual boot gentoo & SuSE 9.1 pro should do the job.
