I'm sorry too because I have to disagree with you Pj! But first: thank's for the notes on hardware, it is very easy to forget that there can in fact be some small details in the hardware that makes one desperate and sweaty trying to configure a system, this could save some people from going mad and hit the box with a sledgehammer.

I like cow's, but I wouldn't try to make them go out sailing with me, they'd probably panic and freeze..... Greeting's, ei -- @~~ EagleIce ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~@ @~~ Running GNU/Linux & KDE ~~@
