Some of you may recall I bought a PowerSpec05 with Linspire 4.5
O/S installed from MCI. After some bench burn-in time (whilst I
also got some gardening done 8-) I decided to use the CNR (download
and install service that came with 3 months use free in my purchase)
service to upgrade the linspire 4.5 to the more recent Five-0 version
(avoids redoing some other progarams if I had done it afterwards 8-(

The fat .iso file download and burn to operating CD went FB on my
SustemaxTiger and its W98se (also includes a Live CD ability if
one wants to take a look at linspire); but the installation hung
up at about 29% completetion. With some online assistance from
the linspire tech support (and having the instuctions displayed
for these weary eyes on the W98se PC) finally resulted in a joyfull
version Five-0 now running. Now the struggle continues making it
recognize the CD drive that came with it and the USB SmartDisk
external floppy drive I added.

Looks like an interesting O/S (and challange that reminds me of
earliest Windows O/S setups, to help keep my juices running 8-)

Ciao, Ack.
