ROFL! (-: `Larry Boy and the Ears of Death?' :-) It's `deaf ears' as in ears that do not hear. (-: Thanks for lightening my morning a bit :-) My first wife, when she shot through with my daughter, left behind a list of things she was planning to take, including an item `Chester Draws' which took me a little while to decode as `chest of drawers'. She also thought that battery chickens ran on size D drycells (I kid you not!). A few things like this helped to soften the blows of an otherwise traumatic experience. > I would build them myself but I lack the > space for the source and the bandwidth to get the necessary SRPMS in the > first place on my Mandrake machine :( If a friend has the bandwidth, get them to fetch the SRPMs down for you. You can also try rpmfind.net as sometimes they have links to non-Mandrake RPMS for the Mandrake systems. If you lack space, borrow a hard drive for the purpose when one is in transit on its way to becoming something else, even a little hard drive with only a few hundred megabytes can be enough for many things. It basically sounds like you need to sort some priorities out. Cheers; Leon
