I agree to the toenail part, esp when it comes to 'howtos' that feature a single command without further discussion. One size fits nobody...? Nevertheless I still have to learn how I do find out WHY, exactly, the kernel hasn't enabled a special feature. My only approach is to tweak things, one at a time, and see if it works or breaks. Works for me (tm), but if you know better, please let me know. cu, Schnobs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
