I don't have a spare hard drive, but my plan is to keep Corel for awhile at least, and install Mandrake on a separate partition. If that goes as planned I should still be able to upgrade to Xandros, assuming that the transition from the Corel to the Xandros OS is a simple upgrade scenario and not something that would overwrite my existing documents and applications. I don't mind being a guinea pig as long as it doesn't fubar my PC:-) -- Lee Einer http://members.cox.net/appealsman/
