G'day again all,<br><br>Thanks for all the advice, to everyone - much appreciated. Er unfortunately I hav found other problems too with SUSE. So I tried Fedora Core 5 but that would not write a bootstrap starter at all, not even to a diskette, so I've junked that too. So I am back to square one with a perfectly working Mandriva 2005LE. Everything works under that, SCSI scanner, videos, Seamonkey etc etc.
<br><br>It is just that it is a bit old. Never mind I suppose I will just stick with it until Mandriva 2007LE comes out and see if that will address my scanner (2006LE won't under any circumstances that I can configure).<br>
<br>I suppose I could always try Berry Linux from Japan. They say that is well set-up for the office user - sorry I'm not too much of a clued-up fundi. Just a user. Anyone else tried Berry Linux?<br><br>Mike R in Folkestone.
