Oh, sure, the kernels were a bit smaller then. Just start it up before going to bed. :) ~~~)-Steven---- "I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.

But it worked. My first Debian box. The ability to add/remove packages with ease sold me. I don't see what you're bitching about with your PII 2GB 32 MB monster box ;-) `-- Karsten M.
