Even if it's half as insane as it sounds, it's still pretty insane :-) I'm just kidding - I can see why it *might* be cost effective to do that, but for us it's the last straw and it'll push us to upgrade the entire system.

The path we're taking is to completely upgrade the machine to a modern Debian with a 2.6 kernel. It'll be long and painful (and prone to errors) but at least we know it's doable whereas from Shachar and Muli's responses it seems we're going into nowhere land with a solid chance of failure. Also, it will not be me who'll be doing the long and painful process, so it's much easier to decide to do the 'right thing' ;-) - Aviram ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
