Thanks for that info. I have this kernel version installed: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # uname -a > Linux smoker 2.6.14-gentoo-r5 #2 PREEMPT Tue Dec 27 04:46:01 CST 2005 > i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2500+ GNU/Linux > [EMAIL PROTECTED] / I'll upgrade eventually. I have read where people had trouble but they never say what kernel version they are using so it's hard to tell if it applies now or not. I thought it best to err on the side of caution. Now I know it's OK and I may just try it with a few files to see what happens. I just wish I could put Linux on the stupid thing and be done with it. We spent almost $200.00 on that stupid windoze install. Thanks for the info. Dale :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
