:) While I am a debian user (on a couple of my servers) I'm not a troll. By old news I mean that the page was dated june 11 but only announced (well, on /. anyway) today. By 99% I mean that there was one rejected part of the patch (already applied in gaming sources anyway). Loking a bit further it looks like it's just the agpgart/ide support (maybe?). alan -- Alan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://arcterex.net -------------------------------------------------------------------- "There are only 3 real sports: bull-fighting, car racing and mountain climbing.
