I agree that it's more fun with free software though. :) Uli

I said 'asking for a feature' was ONE advantage. another is fixing it yourself, as you said. -Kev -- (__) (oo) /--\/ / ||| * /\---/\ ~~ ~~ Have you mooed today?... signature.asc Description: Digital signature

You can file a bug report at the debian site or with the bug tool for a new feature. You can also contact the debian maintainer and the original developer about this. Their info should be availble. But unfortunatley this list is about discussion of issues specific to debian as a whole and not to discussion of one program or package. I'd suggest to check the site for a better forum like debian-user. Also note that freeamp was renamed to zinf due to trademark infringment or something a couple years ago. -- Blast you and your estrogenical treachery!
