My CDs came from Linux Software Labs if that rings any bells. I'm
inclined to blame myself for the problem at this stage though. I might
content myself with dpkg for a while and brush up on my typing skills.
Sometimes those "8.3" DOS filenames don't seem too bad :-)
Oh and my previous claim of getting netscape running have proven to be
false. Getting a program to start is not equivalent to getting it to
work. I've installed 3 different versions now and given up on all of
them.

for 3 exams and wonders why he is playing with Linux until 3:50am)
