I think it's too late, mate. Broke OO, and a few other things already - like Apache spit the dummy, and SpamAssassin spit the dummy, Razor and Pyzor spit the dummy... Currently I'm taking a break and going to try to get "perl-base-5.8.4-5mdk.rpm" install (yeah, it's for 10+, but hell, since I'm halfway there, might was well walk the wild side) If it break even further, well, I'll blame y'all. stephen kuhn - proprietor ============================== illawarra computer services a kuhn media australia company http://kma.0catch.com mobile: 0410.728.389 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Mandrake Linux release 9.1 (Bamboo) for i586 ------------------------------------------------------------------ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents ------------------------------------------------------------------ Certified virus-free since we don't use Microsoft products better !pout !cry better watchout lpr why santa claus < north pole > town cat /etc/passwd > list ncheck list ncheck list cat list | grep naughty > nogiftlist cat list | grep nice > giftlist santa claus < north pole > town who | grep sleeping who | grep awake who | grep bad || good for (goodness sake) { be good }
