Ok, now what am I doing wrong? I have a CD player, and the professional CD's, and I installed Linux 10.0 once, but now I can't seem to do it. I tell the machine CD boot, and then I tell it install, and then it comes up "mouse checker" or something like that, and with either a USB or a PS2 mouse, it can't find the mouse, and everything stops at that point. With the presently installed version of 10.0, which has a serious email problem, either kind of mouse works fine. Is the mobo kaput, or is it me? I would be happy to just fix the email, but I cannot take a chance on it coming up in Chinese anymore. It has to be _fixed_ before I try to check email on that machine. I have also tried the repair, or whatever they call it, from the existing system, but I am completely snowed by what comes up after that. One would think the system would go thru all the files and find the ones that are corroded, and fix them, but that doesn't seem to be the case. What next?

Hi Doug, Why don't you set up a different e-mail client, temporarily, and configure it to leave your e-mail on the server? That buys you more time to troubleshoot the existing installation with help from the list. Another alternative might be webmail... browser based access to your e-mail which *also* leaves your mail on the server without even downloading it to the client. regards, Carl

Well, I can get and send email from XP without a problem. That's on a different machine that doesn't like Linux for email, for some reason. But when I was running the other machine, that only has Linux, suddenly about 5 to 10 % or the incoming mail was formatted in Chinese, or something, and was unsalvageable-- by me, at least, and included one email that I really wanted to read, from an off-list entity. There's no use fooling with mail on that machine. The only hope is to reinstall Linux, which worked very well for quite a while. The question is, how? --dm -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
