I remember running into that while upgrading my sparc to potato. I don't remember how I did it, though.

Yes, it has been fixed, and no, it's not related to the problems you're having. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
