Thanks - filefactory worked ok - I was a bit worried what it would do as there is a limit of 150MB per hour download on the free setting, and the image is larger, but it lets you have it and just wouldn't let you have anything else.
Now the fun starts.
On a separate issue I see conflicting advice about whether the SD card needs to be FAT32 or FAT16. Will either work? Is there a risk of BREAKING something if you use the wrong one?
Looking forward to working with the new one, and hoping that I can get a decent Perl going in it too... (old hacker me...)
