Nick,

Ya, this could be the reason.  I'll figure out if I can use some of the 
good ideas presented here.  Thank y'all.  For now I've been just happy I 
could still get Linux working on a cheap laptop.   My previous one  I 
bought in 1999 was a PineBookPro for only $200 and I carried that one to 
4 continents.

Bill
