The OP wants the offensive parts split off in a separate package. He doesn't want dosage removed from the archive. And splitting does indeed change something. If his kids are not root they cannot install the "offensive" part. They might find some way around the restrictions (eg. download them directly thru a proxy or something) but this will raise the bar somewhat. I do not understand why you keep stating things all through this thread that seem to deliberately ignore exactly what the OP is asking. greets, Wim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
