 Yes, I see it has these features, now I have to try them and see how useful they will be for me in my daily online tasks. I noticed something strange though, FC is a bit buggy, it now does not show the shutting down screen indicating whats shutting down. All I hear is the harddrive stop by clicking/parking, this is a newer system an MSI 845PE Max2 with a P4 2.40MHz processor, 512Mb memory, with a 120gig hdd. So I have no idea whats going on. Anyway, I'll be getting a new big drive soon, (250gig or so) and a DVD burner, I think I'll also bump the ram to 1.5gigs. I'll set the bigger partitions on the larger drive, and place the swap as the first on the 120gig and use the rest for whatever. Maybe this will help FC's buggy behavior with my systems hardware.
 
 All in all, I'll wipe the darn thing and reinstall now that I've figured out how to install it. I think why it was giving me the initial problem, was it did not like the placing of the swap partition amongst the other partitions? So I let it do it's thing, even though I did not like how it did the lineup, so I let it do it's thing and it finally formatted the partitions and finished the install instead of aborting. Its a very good OS but one hell of a pain in the ass.
 
 Thanks, Ron:)

Quick comeback Ron since it sounds like you're using Firefox for the 
first time - it is an outstanding browser.  Take a look at Live 
Bookmarks for RSS feeds, check Open in Tabs to open all bookmarks in a 
particular folder at once in separate tabs, and best of all check out 
the Extensions that make this browser jump through the particular hoops 
you want.  Image Zoom, Nuke Anything, Copy as Text, Single Widow, 
Greasemonkey (unembed is great), etc.

Yeah, that's right JJ, but I swear I have been known to use Lynx from 
time to time...
