Thanks for the offer but I'll decline politely. I have two specific jobs for SuSE 7.3, (i) running under QEMU on my Ubuntu 6.06 laptop, as it is a "supported" distribution for the defunct(?) Kylix IDE, and (ii) installing on an old Pentium laptop for use as a spare web browsing machine.
After years of trying to program for fun, but being in a sort of programming language limbo, I've finally settled on Pascal, including the Lazarus IDE and I want to have a play with Kylix as I've never really been able to get it to install successfully. I know I'll never be employed as a programmer (or even make a penny), but pascal/lazarus lets me do what I want in a way I can understand, and more importantly enjoy. I've tried C, C++/QT and JAVA but I've never really progressed very far. I've also read a lot of flame wars on why Pascal is cool or crap depending on what side of the fence you are on. But I don't care, I'm still struggling with OOP concepts but I'm sure I'll get there in the end.
I'm away at work until Wednesday but I'll be posting a list of unwanted JAVA, C, C++ & QT books on the list on my return as I need to clear some space!
Regards,
Martin

Cool, while you are at it do you want to pop round mine and pick up this 9.1 Professional Box set and manuals before it goes in the bin ?
