Well from the reply's from people, it looks like its best to just use 
console... so i think that will be best for me to do, as i dont *need* 
to use it to check the sites, so i think i will just do what people 
said, use my workstation to check them instead.

About the usb drive, how would i check that it would work? the drive its 
self is a seagate 80gb, and i just shoved it into a USB caddy.

Thanks again
Grant.
