Probably but he has not answered my other post at all.
Until I know what his system specs are and if he does not tell us, he is doing this on solo with no gurantee of it working out fully.
Let me ask you something mind, if you take this "live distro" and run it on full desktop mode.
About how much will that little cd/dvd require from his memory ?
Minus the factit may pull off some or abit too much from his hdd with whatever he may put onto it causing problems.
Not being cute or funny with you at all.
I just want you to look at it from a different angle so Mr.Joker does not have his issues going on for too long.
