for one thing, your orig math is goofy. you are "missing" 3.14, not 4. we already turned that down by one, so now it's 2.14. consider that your estimations of 3 and 4 gig respectively might be both low. now we could be down to 1 gig.

Check again. I bet the amount your computer's missing, is in fact, 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816406286208998628034825342117067982148086513282306647093844609550582231725359408128481117450284102701938521105559644622948954930381964428810975665933446128475648233786783165271201909145648566923460348610454326648213393607260249141273724587006606315588174881520920962829254091715364367892590360011330530548820466521384146951941511609433057270365759591953092186117381932611793105118548074462379962749567351885752724 8912279381830119491298336733624406566430GB.

Upgrading to XP may not solve the problem, but you can usually upgrade to XP without wiping your drive or your files. If you decide to do it, though, it's always prudent to back up anything you don't want to lose, especially items in the "My Documents" folder or on your desktop.

But yes, that would work. It was my initial suggestion, but I decided that changing preferences would (ideally) be the better route to go.

My computer is an AMD running Windows 98, and I have cable internet through Comcast. Plenty of memory and processor speed. Any ideas? This scares me, as my home computer connection is crucial to my work/livelihood. It's been happening frequently (and I just bought this computer). Thanks for any help/ideas.

Does anyone know how to get around not-having-administrator status in Windows XP? I need to install AOLIM badly as well as turning on my animated images in IE that somehow got turned off. I cannot see Pee Wee dance. It makes me sad. HELP!

I mean, it's really really gay. I thought I was being dumb and not understanding, but NOW I DO and it's a load of RUBBISH.
apt-get may be better but WHAT IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHERE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE 'getting' FROM!
And source code! It never compiles! Or if it DOES it then doesn't WORK! Computers are GAY GAY GAY!
Ah, "reclaiming" the word 'gay' makes my ire a lot easier to express.

As far as compiling goes, what's the debian equivalent of fink? Compiling straight seems to work OK for me but I think it very much depends on how well the ./configure script works for each source tarball. This depends on how one's compilers etc. are installed, I suppose, seeing as Apple set mine up I can't help you there.

Installing from interweb - someone else did the install for me and I don't know which flavour of Debian I have blah blah... odd window manager as well.
When I first started the xterms wouldn't come up for some reason... ARGH!
Also ./configure isn't that hot. I was so gutted after spending all of Judge John Deed compiling mame and STILL it didn't want to work!

Sarah, why not install the woody version of debian? It's meant to be guaranteed to work, (well that's what they say, in their dreams I say).
