Yeah.  I started downloading the DVD.  The download is 80% complete with 
  about 43 min to go.

Since I'm having a heck of a time with 2008.0, I'm going to

1. Attempt to upgrade the BIOS for the ASUS A7N8X Deluxe MB I'm running 
it on, but to be honest, I've run Win 98, 2000, XP, Fedora 3, 4, and 5 
without the need for this, so I doubt it will help.
2. Wipe out the disk that has 2008.0 with 2008.1 and start over.

I tried to use that disk today and it refuses to recognize my USB 
keyboard/mouse.  The POST recognized it, but not 2008.0.

If you could give it a try this would be greatly appreciated.

I can't remember if I've mentioned this, but I've ordered a drive bay 
for my new Dell box plus 5 SATA drive cases so I can swap out drives to 
try different OSs.  Fedora 9 is out and I want to give it a try too.

1. Windows XP
2. Windows Vista
3. Mandriva
4. Ubuntu
5. Fedora

I figured VMware would have problems with sound drivers.

Thanks Kevin,
Pete
