Hello from Gregg C Levine Sorry to hear that it went unnoticed on the other list. It looks good to me. Have you had a chance to test this idea, on a kernel? Here's a suggestion. If you have the resources that is. Compile a kernel, one of the latest 2.4.x ones, and apply that collection of statements to it. There's a method for convincing a Linux kernel to become multiboot header amendable, but I don't remember it. ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
