Hi Mats; I talked with Eric Spakman and he remembered, why we removed it from the image a few years ago: On machines with no serial console attached the screen was flooded with messages about init respawning too fast about every five seconds. And I think, his memory is correct in that case. So we refuse to change it back -. I hope you understand happy new year to you all kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
