It would be nice if the man page -s description specified that. And it worked, so we'll see in the morning. In the meantime, I am swapping drives and trying to get a 64 bit 12-04.2 LTS installed on another drive. So far its not fun, networking is being a tantrum thrower. Works locally, but can't get past the gateway. Thanks. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
