    Thanks 4 the reply. I'm up in sunny Townsville. I had a spare PC 
sitting idle
    so bought 2 CD's of free BSD. Now, the card is a Nvidia GeoForce FX5200.
    it took 4 or 5 goes at installing so I've probably stuffed something up.
    I'm not very bright I'm afraid :-(  I've got broadband "net" with an 
ethernet card
    I'll try again 2 day and see if I make any progress.
    Tahnkx, M.
