Knoppix is very much like like Libranet, only without English speaking support. Have you you checked the /etc directory for the headers? Can you send me the install script? Let's try and see where that puppy is being penned-up. ===== Warmest Regards, Doug Riddle Infinity. It would seem to imply that there must be an equal number of even and odd numbers. If you can add one to any number, and create another number, then there has to be an equal number of each, in every direction. However, there is one, and only one even prime number. The number 2, the third number in the Fibonacci series, which is an odd number. Aha - conspiracy! If the only Even Prime is even, then there are more even numbers than odd! They tried to cover it by making it the third Fibonacci number! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Search - Find what youre looking for faster http://search.yahoo.com
