Thanks! :-) I will take that on board. My first go at this upgrade went all over. The next five all worked like a charm. This are all going on with test installs that are going to be installed over. My 64studio studio is more or less default and kept stable. Thank you for all your great work with 64studio, I really love the distro, and all it represents. dave. _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
