Install went very smooth Bianca
nice clean....everything detected
choose a clean install on a 160 gig drive and let it do it thing
not familiar with gnome..but used KDE since early days of Mandrake
not really technical just a user...tried lots of distros over the years
Impressions.....
very cool and excellent work...
but a need a little help
I have a second Harddrive slaved...the partition manger sees it
I want to copy the data off it to the primary drive
so I can format it and use it under Bianca...

but it wouldn't have been M$ as I have been fat free since the halloween papers....
