I just want it for compatibility reasons.
Internally Star Office will do nicely and I need to see if it
has an option to save in MSWord or WordPerfect convertable
formats.
Need to update Adobe reader from version 4.0 in this release of Knoppix.

 Well if you really need the URL I can get it to you with a
 long work around but if you type "dos ghost in the machine"
 and "Charles Angelich" into google it'll return a link to
 his web site and there's a link to it from there.

 I dislike my current Windows - DOS - telnet - OLR
 and editor setup but haven't taken the time to make
 the changes required to do an easy copy and paste.

 IIRC  from his home page you got to mini-linux and Peanut
 is linked there.
