-> I just picked up a USB DVD burner with the Windows drivers on an enclosed DVD!

Heh, yeah.
Linux doesn't give you these catch 22 situations.

->  WC> In the end I should have know better and should have left

-> Don't you just HATE the should-a, could-a, would-a's? We've all had them!

->  WC> Oh well, I've got that now.
->  WC> I've vowed no more Windows for me.

-> Shoot, I'm almost there. 
   
Well it was this last experience, having to run Ad-Aware every other
time, AVG, keeps Zone Alarm active, update the fixpacks
and STILL it gave security problems.

Then too I'd the fido virus conferences swithched on and paging
through 12 - 15 Windows trojan and virus vulnerabilities... 

-> My slot-1 machine just scrambled its FAT32, and I've
-> been trying to restore its operation to pull some stuff off the HD. If I could
-> boot off the DVD, I'd have RH on it by now, and just mount to the unscrambled
-> partitions. As far as I know, Windows won't even let me SEE the DVD until I get
-> the GUI back up, and then, I'd have to upgrade to W'98 to burn to the USB
-> port... Then, I'd have to bend over for Microsoft... As if I haven't been!
-> (Opps, I just saw a plan B. Gotta go! |-)

-> Viva la challenge!
