| DEar All, Thanks to Neil for the mint site which I duly downloaded the 32 bit and burned to DVD - too big for CD - BUT I can't get the blinking PB EasyNote to recognise the CD boot up - I F8 and all that set the boot to CD BUT the machine refuses to recognise the boot. WHAT IS THIS SILLY OLD F**T DOING WRONG? I used Nero to save as an image. Crestfallenly, Grandad Bee. --- On Thu, 11/8/11, Neil Stone <neil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
