WC>-> JE>Mushrooming just as Windows did. :-)

WC>->  NOT at all. The basic program will still be LINUX Lean and Mean. BUT

WC>->  programs to pick form and to satisfy almost any desire.
WC>-> But as I stated in the other post a Live CD sized version with a

WC>Thanks for clarifying this for me.
WC>No idea what this dated BIOS supports by way of DVD.


Actualy the BIOS just looks at a DVD drive as just another IDE device.
Al lthe recognition comes with the OS and other software.
IF the software is avaiable the DVD should work.
I don't follow LINUX al lthat close so don't know what advances they
have amde on playing movie DVD's, which was a problem some years back.
I would expect NO problem with Data DVD's.
