At the moment I am rostered to work both those evenings so will see if I 
can change.  I have messed up with Software Package Manager.  Was trying 
to configure it (after reading a tutorial on line) and added a download 
site for updates.  It said to wait, so I waited about twenty minutes, 
and nothing seemed to be happening and I needed to get to bed.  It was 
late.  Tried to close the darned thing by clicking on the 'x', but it 
didn't respond, so I closed internet connection and closed everything 
and logged out.  Next time I looked at the Package Manager it has 
unreadable symbols instead of words!!  Gimp has always done the same. 
 Also I have a spare 2Gb hard drive and thought I'd like to try 
installing Mandrake 9 to it since I have the new CDROM!  The only thing 
stopping me is the fact I messed up Grub when I installed RedHat a while 
ago now, and couldn't get into Windows.  Mandrake uses Lilo, but is 
there anything special I'll need to do to make sure I can get into 
Windows and both Mandrakes - assuming the install goes okay?  I thought 
it would be good practice.

Thanks
Rose
