Obviously it did NOT pick the best interface, it tried to use the wrong one. And since you love to tell people not to use "obsolete" versions, why don't you tell them to update to a current Linux as well? Most people don't (won't) use alpha software, so you should expect most users to be running the latest stable release, not one of the "a" releases which distributors correctly avoid. -- -bill davidsen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) "The secret to procrastination is to put things off until the last possible moment - but no longer" -me -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
