Yes. Did it ever cross your mind that the whole "Linux on Windows" thing
is pretty useless if it cannot be used in the "real world". I mean, if peop=

a Redhat, Suse or Debian DVD and everything works fine.

As there is no new information in this thread I'll shut up until a real
problem comes up. This whole discussion is academic anyway.
