I'm still trying to hack various things but am hampered by severe lack of time and not really knowing what I'm doing :-) Due in part to the number of reported problems I've had to go for more Compaqs as additional systems here, but I'm still hoping to get to a position where ordinary users aren't running x86 to improve resilience to malware. I guess that's a vote for keeping 32-bit live if at all possible, I just wish I could do more to contribute. -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
