Sorry. I ordered 1GB of memory for the machine and that has taken weeks
to get delivered. I am promised that I will have it by Monday?
Maybe Tuesday?

Once I see that memory installed ... well you know. I will jump on this.

Good news is that I have CDROM-R media and that works like a charm. So
I can really do the test with the CD image. Late Tuesday?
Maybe Wednesday.
