So, we will ship a sarge release which will show porn to our kids by default ? I don't want *ANYTHING* to do with that, and if you go this way, i hereby demand that my name is removed from any file containing it on this pornographic sarge release. Sorry, but i think this is a grave issue, which goes beyond a mere technical bug or whatever. Maybe we should just drop KDE from the dekstop task or something though :) Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
