You may have the same reason for not wanting to use either, but that does not make them the same. I detest both cabbage and spinach, I refuse to eat either, but I wouldn't try to claim they were the same vegetable. > >> Provided that the old one works tho right?

I have enough fun with the kernel at times. Once you have installed a kernel, you never update it. You may compile another one with different settings, or install a different version, but the kernel you installed is not updated. Your kernel is about the only thing not affected by, or at risk of being broken by, updates, because nothing is ever overwritten, unlike just about every other update. > >> To ME, a init thingy is a init thingy.

Never tempt me with food, I may take you up on it one day. Just don't ever offer me any of those green thingies :P -- Neil Bothwick I'm in shape ... Rounds a shape isn't it?
