Marc, I hope I'm not taking too many liberties with this, but maybe it will turn into a job opportunity for Civileme. The last time I spoke with him was on Dec 17, he's still looking for work. He stated that he might be willing to return to Mandrake software development in order to finish testing the update software and the "install any program with a click" software. From what I've heard, the LM90 rpmdrake could really benefit from his expertise. He says he's got a connection now that won't handle list level traffic. --LX __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
