well, i feel like a loser, here i am, back on windows, and i won't lie, i was a little relieved to see its slow and challenged ass boot up.... anyways, going to try to figure everything out this week, when i'm not real tired and frustrated, that and hopefully everything is in working order, as i bought a redistributed DVD of Mandriva powerpack, i'll do some research and see if there are any issues there, as i got a lot of errors and i'm to tired to remember what they said, but like error (filenamehere) acted erratically and something else.... anyways, sleep for a couple hours.
