Even less intrusive is DemoLinux http://www.demolinux.com/ I haven't tried it (I'm a Mandrake user with not an atom of Windows in sight :) but it allows Linux to be run from a bootable CD-ROM without any partitioning or image files at all! (It saves files to a RAM disk - with copy to floppy before shutting down - or floppy disk). So, if you decide you like Linux, you can throw it away and get a 'real' distribution. Alastair
