They can ask but the laptop came with no Windows CD/DVD - I was expected to want Windows so much that I would be prepared to not only buy my own DVD-R media but also to spend time with my new machine waiting for Windows to burn itself to a DVD. (I gained this knowledge from reading the manual two weeks *after* I had wiped the entire hard drive by installing Mepis, then Debian.) :-) If this laptop ever gets back to HP, it will have an entirely blank ext2 filesystem across the entire 250Gb drive. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
