I'm sorry but..., if I where to test everything as people expect even though I commit only cooker contribs, aka. _development_ stuff..., all my time would be spent on that. I have to rely on bugreports. Now..., I seldom get any bugreports..., either people are lazy or I do a very well job... I could test everything as desired but then I need foundings from MandrakeSoft in form of equipment, education and a salary... I strongly doubt I will get any of this... So..., there you have it. -- Regards // Oden Eriksson, Deserve-IT Networks Check the "Modules For Apache2" status page at: http://www.deserve-it.com/modules_for_apache2.html
