Thank you Bruce. I do have the copy saved on my windows server. Now should I
change the config on the floppy on the windows box or change it on the linux
box. and if I change it on the DL box how do i get to the floppy drive? When
I get to the floppy drive how do i change the file and does the save config
command save it to the floppy? I hate to sound so stupid but right now I am
just not a linux fan ONLY because I do not know it!!! I want to love it. :-(
