Okay, well it's not good. It's not really a good idea to run off just the disk drive for Linux. And if you're loading up, you know, stuff like your files and all that kind of stuff, you're going to lose them eventually because you're working off the disk drive. You know, so I wouldn't recommend that. Now if you have, if it's an old, old machine and you have an old, old copy of Windows on there, maybe Windows 95 or 98 or XP or something like that, that would be what you have on there for that old computer. So what you could do is when they ask you to, if you want to set it up on the computer itself, it'll come to a point where it says, do you want to install this in dual boot? In other words, it'll leave the Windows on there, but it'll put your system on there. And then when you start your computer, if you turn it off completely, if you start up your computer, it'll ask you, do you want to run Windows or do you want to run Linux? And you just choose the one you want and it'll completely boot up on that system and on that hard drive. You're not using that little disk or anything like that. And that would be the way you'd really want to do it. And I'll tell you why. If there's something you want to use that's Windows-based, such as, you know, Echo Link or something like that, then I'd highly recommend doing that. You know, you could do it, just go to Windows and get it started. Now, if you're going to do your banking or if you're going to do anything online like buying, I wouldn't use that Windows because it's an old version and there's no security on it. They stopped supporting it a long time ago. So what you do is you just boot up into Linux. Mint is current and the browser will be current and you would do your banking or whatever that you did economically-wise on that side of the computer. Do you follow me?
