Sorry about the repeats. A problem ( fixed, I hope) with Expert vs expert in my address book in Windows, which I am reduced to using since LM 7.1 blew up.| Again, apologies.

er the filesystems tab - it will not work if compiled in because a script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/mandrake_everytime disables it. Anyway, that's my story. I have had to use both steps to get 2.2.17 to work for me. HTH. -- Dennis Robertson 2/2 Sylvia Street NOOSAVILLE QLD 4566 Phone:
