you're a legend Stew!! Out of curiosity, is there anywhere that has these little bits of information? Any websites somewhere? If not, then I might look at adding a page to mine that answers a lot of these (basic?) questions, i.e., the little anomalies such as mouse problems require a reboot, and where to set ESSID's for airport networks. It's wonderful having you and Ben here, but I really don't know where to start looking to get some of these questions answered. I'm not a new Linux user, yet I felt like it with some of these questions this morning... there doesn't appear to be any documentation that has the answers to these sorts of questions.
Unfortunately, I can't offer any help programming (unless it's java or web based) but I could put up some pages that answer these questions if you think it may be of use. One of the other ones that totally eludes me is how to tell trackpad to always disable tap option. I recall that you answered this question once with a 'read the documentation'... but unless I'm looking in the wrong places, I see no documentation for trackpad. So this is another good candidate for a LM PPC FAQ. Maybe we need a generic LM FAQ site, which is easy to use to find this sort of information. Just a thought!! I'll stop hassling you now that my mouse and airport are all sorted. Thanks for the help Stew & Ben...
