That will be fun, thanks.  But I am trying to get BL2 (hard drive 
installation) to work with Opera and minimal files and Xvesa.  Do I just 
see what you included for BL3 and install the equivalents for BL2?
Congratulations on making the 'early March' date!  

I am hoping that your BL3 file transfer program will let me move files 
between computers via parallel cable.  Lots of good things to look forward 
to.

I can't use BL3 to run Opera.  I don't use X for other programs very 
often.  I will wait and see how you minimized.

What sorts of add-ons?
