Sorry, Brian. So much of that is Greek to me. I thought it would be as
simple as booting the live CD, loading my network parameters, cranking
up a browswer and downloading the definitions and "installing" them for
the current session. 

And now from what you say, it seems like there's a lot more to it than
that. That means I have more homework to do (reading up on it). A couple
of guys have mentioned Stinger. Maybe I should start there. Heck, I
don't even know what a "Bart's PE boot CD" is.

BitTorrent. I don't much like it either, but I have a "spare" (damaged,
small, old, hunk o' junque) Toshiba notebook with a 2 gig drive on it.
Stripped down mostly OS, I was able to get BitTorrent on it and download
the iso. I have 2 static IPs from my ISP, one of which my LAN uses with
masqerading and a firewall. BitTorrent doesn't like firewalls, and you
gotta punch a hole through whatever you use for the port. Scary - giving
more access, etc. So, with the spare notebook, I was able to use my 2nd
IP, no firewall, and download the iso with BitTorrent no problems. I
couldn't find it anywhere else.

Thanks for the help. At least now I have a couple of place to start
looking and learning.
