I figured it out for myself, and I feel pretty stupid. But, for the record, I wrote the "modules" file with SPACES between modules instead of NEWLINES. When I put newlines where they belonged, everything worked fine. Please excuse. I would like to thank every one of you folks for all the work you have done to make these Leaf distributions work. And not only the software but also the documentation! This is truly a first class, professional job. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
