um... I trying to get a firewall version on a 'puter that has no provisions or will boot from a cdrom... The cdrom connects to a sound card... And since I got it for $9.98,,, I did'nt expect the cdrom to work... Which it does'nt...

I figured out I need to do a http install...

Thanks for those links... Now I remeber why I don't fool with Linux... And I really need to stop thinking about installing it too...
