I QUITE agree, the point I was making is that there is a released product (LM8,1) which when bolted together in a certain way does not work correctly. The quick pro-tem fix is to set the moz default. Wearing my "Open Source is good" hat, this simple incompatibility, like many others, is what the general press takes as "Linux/BSD/... is not yet ready for prime time". I'm personally disappointed that I didn't pick this one and flag it during the RC phase... Unfortunately, I was a bit busy attending to other things at the time :-( /Kevin -- Kevin J.
