The screen shows the options I am talking about, however I don't normally see them. If you boot from the CD and then install to the CF card using the universal installer it will set the correct boot options in the syslinux.cfg file for you. The size of the pup_save.2fs file can be set by you - when ...

Flash - thanks,

Having investigated the link, the version with video on the Skype Linux page does not support sending SMS (the windows version I have is 3.1 and was I think the first version that does) so I guess I'll just have to wait for a bit. Back to typing on the phone's fiddly keyboard!
