I don't know about Bruce's friend's problem, but, mine is a completely vanilla install, unmodified, straight from Netscape, using the Debian install package. It is truly a _default_ install, it is indeed 8 bit, but I don't know how to change it to other than 8 bit. Please ask for what ever configuration files you m ight need to help me and I'll send by private mail, rather than eat mailing list bandwidth. --David ------------------------------------------------------------------------- LINUX: the FREE 32 bit OS for [345]86 PC's available NOW!
