No - I'm pretty sure I did at least one thing right. The install script I downloaded, fp_install.sh, came with a data file called fp50.linux.tar.Z. In other words, the tar file was FrontPage *for linux*. I know I did at least that much right. Of course, that doesn't really help now... :( You think I can get my hands on an apache install without a CD? Anyone know where to get one? I found something that looks promising at www.apachetoolbox.com, but I'm not going to do anything else without some more experienced say-so. -SD On 3/21/02 4:54 PM, "Brian Densmore" wrote: > Ok, I should have spoken my gut before.
