Not having all the software could certainly slow things down a bit!!!

Thanks that looks useful.

I will be fetching mail from an isp.  That way I can still get at my mail
when I'm not at home and the server isn't on.  I'm not hugely bothered if
someone elses PC gets spammed/ virused but I'd prefer mine not to!  As it
looks like I'll not have sarge by the weekend (or CHristmas at this rate!)
could you bring along your Pre9.1 suse disks and we can try from there
please?  Do these disks have recent enough versions of the software required
to make it so it doesn't need upgrading straight away?

Chris
