Hi Accession,

Yeah, when installing linux, that's the way to go!

Authers loosing intrest in projects is a on going thing!

Not being a current gamer* for a long time, I've not had the urge to build
one or run windows on my machbines!

* I'm bad at racing/fps games, but give me a strategy game and it's "game
on" (Back when I played them).

Back in the day when "Command & Conquer"/"Red Alert" was current, we used to
have lan games. I'd built up a base, got wipped out and only had a enginer
left... Made a run for the far end of the map, foound a crate that game me a
factory and re-built my base and managed to then over run the one remaining
player to win the game.
