LOL! I know exactly what you mean. I've been putting off installing USB support on my desktop here at work. When I built my kernel, I did not include USB support, because I didn't have any USB devices. Well, now I do, but I need to reboot to activate the new kernel. It is such a bummer. Well, at least that is one addiction MS-Windows users never have to worry about. And people say Windows has no redeeming features! ;-) > And, I know, it's not gonna get any easier. Wait until the system configuration stabilizes. We have got customers with systems with uptimes over a year, and we are hardly the pinnacle of availability engineering. The usual limiting factor is the runtime on the UPS batteries. :-) -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
