Hi Tom! :-)

 TW>  I just did the "Run Spot Run" install of Mandrake 9.2 on a HD last

Ah, no wonder Linux is a tough sell for you, then. Well, distributions are
getting to a point where everything get setup during installation - they're
just not quite there yet. When you compare the installation of Mandrake 9.2
with what installers in 1998 looked like, you'd see that they have already
improved a lot in that timeframe. Installers back then did setup almost
NOTHING.

So far so good. ;)

There should be a tool for that, but since I don't use desktop environments
on Linux, I have no idea what it is called. I dimly remember something
called kppp, maybe that can be found somewhere in KDE's menu (assuming
Mandrake uses KDE as the graphical environment).
