Your are probably, highly likely, correct, Viesturs. But we don't have a 64 bit kernel that will run LCNC just yet that I know of. Did I get stoned and miss the announcement? I am hoping that will not be the case by the time LCNC 2.6 is out for real. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
