Richard,
There's no need to get all grumpy. Maybe you should have said what you had tried, in
your original
message. That's always helpful to people who want to help you. Which is (_obviously_)
what this
mailing list is about. Try the Mandrake Forum also.
Unfortunately i can't help you with your specific problem, i don't know enough on that
topic.
Sorry.
Good luck with it, have a great day :-)
