Hi, I'm only a developper, I have given you the fixes that will be added in the official distro soon. If you don't want them it's fine by me. Some other people asked me to make my changes available because I cannot upload them because cooker is frozen. Then simply wait for the official mirroring ... I cannot tell you anything about that ... just wait or ask [EMAIL PROTECTED] cheers, -- Florin http://www.mandrakesoft.com http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~florin/
