Thanks for all the help I have gotten so far...I am not sure what the 
difference is, but my machine seems to run better for accessing the net 
when I am also running Xwindows...don't ask, I don't care, I will figure 
that out later :)

Next question:

My paltry 250meg drive is too small <g>  I have a spare 3 gig here that I 
would like to put into the machine and then move the user directories and 
I believe the /usr directory over to that drive.

I know that I will need to make the proper partition on the 3 gig and I 
am pretty confident I can figure that out ;)

What I am not sure how to do is mount it so that it shows up as /usr on 
my box like it does now...

I wasn't sure where to look but a quick perusal of the FAQ didn't show me 
anything on adding a second disk, I assume I prolly missed it..if so, 
could someone point me in the right direction..if not...would someone be 
willing to give me some instruction on this?

Thanks in advance, again,

Greg

P.S. now that both machines are net capable again, please use my
