OK, thank you! I'll keep it as is on my usb drive, and install the full OS on my HDD. Thanks again!

Already tried that Wolfman, but thanks. That's the same thread i read when i first encountered this problem, lots of good information! I couldn't even install Firefox without updating first, using the info in your post! Thanks again!

Hi,

I have a question for you, you said that you have Zorin on a USB stick, is it fully installed or just like it would be if it were a "Live CD" ?????.
