>From the knitpicking gallery: rather than "best practice" I would call it "common practice"
I see some similarity with a recent discussion about allocation of cylinder 0 as page. We know that CP does not mind and there should be no issue. Still, for several good reasons people tend to avoid doing this. And one of the reasons is that it makes people frown and ask questions each time when there's a problem. You lose valuable time explaining it (or even change it) each time before you can focus on the real cause of the problem. But there may be very good reasons to deviate from common practice. Some of my systems at home have a different subnet mask for the same LAN segment; it's not common practice, but in my case best practice ;-) -Rob (an now back to my cage again) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
