Hello? Any one out there?

Hey I've been wanting to mess with .net for a while and of course not be
trapped in the web of microsoft to do so.

I decided to jump in the deep end and take an existing application writte=
n for
.net and see if I can get it to work.

My first try was to download the latest dotgnu.portable and give it a go.=
..

I get the following errors...

1) It cannot find the WPF stuff (PresentationCore and such)  So I copiedt=
hem
from a Windows release... OK.

2) It cannot find System.Printing (so I copied it)

3) It could not find ReachFramework (so I copied it)...

4) well I kept doing this until the only DLL it complained about was
WindowsBase.dll

I figured this is where things would end because of the name of the DLL a=
nd it
did... I got the following errors...

metadata error in token 0x1B00005D: invalid type specification
metadata error in token 0x02000209: cannot locate parent type
metadata error in token 0x0200020E: unknown type definition scope
metadata error in token 0x1B000082: invalid type specification
metadata error in token 0x02000246: cannot locate parent type


Now I know that the ml lib was to solve the system.data and other stuff..=
.. But
what is the status on a portable version of the windowsbase.dll ???  or i=
s
there an alternative?

*or* Would the straight dotgnu files work instaed of the dotgnu.portable?

Thanks in advance from a beginning developer....
