I finally got the USB HOME function working correctly with the PCLinuxOS while using a bootable CD. Now my settings are being stored on a USB hard drive and restored when I log back in. I've ordered an Epson printer that is Linux compatible. Once I get it installed and working, the only thing that I will be lacking is a compatible sound card. Probably work on that next.
I read yesterday that it was Microsoft's intent to force everyone to upgrade to newer software. They currently have a problem with folks using older versions of Windows. Those versions have all the functions the existing users need, but there is no profit in it for Microsoft. My main machine (the one I am using right now) still uses W98SE. It has been fine with me until now and would be into the foreseeable future if I had not discovered PCLinuxOS. Of course I am doing this while it is running PCLinuxOS and everything just seems to work faster and smoother. So I guess I am playing along with Microsoft and upgrading to newer software. Some how I don't think that an upgrade to PCLinuxOS was what they had in mind.
