No, it's alright you answered my question. I have a win and suse box at home 
but a slow dumpy dsl line. At work I have a smokin' connection, but only on 
a win box.

So I can download, burn to disk and compare at home on linux or use that win 
tool you suggested. This will work out great. Thanks...

btw I see the ichthux 6 amazing grace has about finished it's upload. I will 
download instead of the beta I was trying ot use.
