Thanks guys for your reponses. I will look into knoppmyth. I will potentially have a simple setup as well but I was hoping to test it on my desktop PC running FC5 (with the added hardware required of course). My other option is to go with M$ media center which I really do not want to do but for an extra
110.00 it is a tempting alternative.<br><br>
