You two are talking in Jargon new to me. I do not know how to get Helix
or what it is. I gather IT whatever it is will tell you about the sex
life of your computer. How do I get it and is there information on it's
use anywhere?

You can download it from here.
http://iso.linuxquestions.org/version.php?version=303
I'm DL'ing it at the moment on my dialup connection (2½ days worth), but not
as bad as the time it took for the F7 CD's.
I'm always game to try someones suggestion to try a certain live cd that will
do stuff, so am going to give it a try.
Another one someone suggested was Finnix. That's quite a small download, as
it's text only (no GUI). It's worth getting that. It makes you think a lot
harder about what you're doing. No point and click here. Folks that are used
to DOS (not me I must say) will probably find it quite easy to get used to,
but it is a worthwhile challenge just working on the command line.
