Yeah, but I don't (think I) have any writable optical discs sitting around, and even if they happen to provide a bootable-USB-capable downloadable medium that can be applied to such a USB drive from a Linux environment I don't currently have an embarrassment of available USB drives which I can safely erase to work with. (Plus I am biased against accessing Websites which have no reason to need to be dynamic but nonetheless require JavaScript, and for some time now many of Microsoft's Websites - including, IIRC, the ones through which they offer downloads - have fit that description.) -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
