Hi, Kevin,

No I don't have internet access on my Amiga yet.  Looks like I'm in for an
up-hill struggle.  Maybe if I try an emulator on my PC to download Linux,
I'll be able to move it over, or try and hook my modem up to my Amiga.  Time
for the thinking-cap...

Sounds like I might have bitten off more than I can chew.

Many thanks for your help.

Raven.
