I thought I replied, but I don't see it so I'll repost.

The machine is a Compaq CQ60 with Nvidia GeForce 8200m G (correctly identified at boot) with 1366X768. By reviews this is a dog and many game players sought ways to replace the graphics card. I used it to advantage when I needed Windows Vista (rarely, mainly to configure a hearing aid) and tried many distress on it. I had Ubuntu installed from 8 thru now and used several Puppies.

The live version of Knoppix works fine off the DVD (nice screensavers) with impressive list of utilities and useful stuff.

I tried the USB on an old Dell with XP, but the BIOS doesn't support USB boots and it has only a CD drive.

No offense to the magazine, but is there a utility here to swap the background.jpg splash screen? If not, I can still handle that.

I'll study the Cheatcodes which I just discovered.

Thanks for you quick response.

George
