I don't think I've got eight diskettes in the entire house. Haven't used one for any purpose in five years. As a matter of fact, one of the diskettes I do have is the "SuSE Linux 7.0 Bootdisk"......... one of one, never used. Too bad I can't use that for something other than a blank.... oh yeah, I'll have to wipe it first, won't I.

This sounds like the perfect opportunity, to convince your wife that you really "need" a shiny new notebook computer this year, and she'll be free to use your old computer. ;-)
No go, there. The missus doesn't actually care. I wanted 10.0 on there. It was supposed to be easier and cleaner than going to various web sites to get newer versions of OOo, and various other programs. As for me, I've already got a not-so-new iBook. My PC is supposed to turn into a file and mail server for the house. Little bits of nonsense just keep getting in the way. Right now, it's me scavenging for diskettes and trying to remember how to format them in Linux. Kevin (who's gone all day without getting 10.0 onto one miserable old PC)
