The 1.14-* rpms supplied for FC2 did not work for me, Jon. I backed up to 1.13-25 since the rpm was still on-site, and eventually built 1.15-1 from the tarball, which also works fine. I used 1.13-19 for quite a while early on. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
