I may have been swapping Slackware versions with kernel versions in my brain, but unless my memory has failed me you're wrong. 0.95 was one of the first stable (in practice) kernels in a fairly long time, and I remember some really unstable and unworkable kernels before it -- but I'm fairly certain that .95 was not a leap version. And god, this is going back what, 11 years now? So forgive me where my memory fails. Naturally, at the time we were all hacking stuff directly and rebuilding kernels to test drivers, so 'stable' as such didn't exist. I was doing most of the grunt work to get SMC network adapter cards functional and tested, as well as bitching about how lousy the NFS client was. -- Joe Rhett Chief Geek [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isite Services, Inc. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
