Thanks....BeRo and Axalon both have emailed me some VERY good information...
Axalon even gave me URLs for the exact files he says I need <G> These guys
are GREAT! :-) I can't say I've ever heard of that level of support from
anyone at Red Hat or any other O/S of ANY sort!! :-) And I didn't even buy
the "official" Mandrake CD....just the MacMillan version! Sheesh! I'm gonna
have to find some way to get some money to Mandrake...maybe I'll buy their
aftermarket tech support package (depending on how much it is! <G>)
