AmyJ, There is a close dialog between the mobo makers, chip set makers and the OS makers in the Win98/NT world where Dell, GTW, IBM and the majors are concerned because they are bringing out new systems with new controllers and drives and they need to make sure that they all driver correctly.(the OS probes the mobo and selects the proper drivers from the repertoire on the CD). Often there are extra drivers with retail or late added products as disks or CDs. SInce Linux is their fourth market(after Win98, NT and Mac) they develop those drivers last of all and in the rush to release the product the Linux and Mac drivers are often late to the gate. I have had the same experience with Win98 and have gotten late fixes. I have the Corelinux installed on an older P-266 system and it went through the install perfectly. It is true that Linux is not ready for a consumer world...yet....give it 6 more months and it will be. It is going forward quite quickly. It is ready now for many managed systems, like networks, internet servers etc with office suites that are used by non tech people that just do their work. Not ready for the small non tech office. Did you try the Corel e-mail help? by now they will have seen the problem and will have a fix at hand? Bill
