Hmm... I normally shoot for the main process and everything else resets. This works on SuSE, anyway.

At least that's where slack has had it for several years. Not trying to start a flame war here, but isn't it the same thing? Now for some of the networking stuff, I can see your point. the easiest thing to do is to learn to use ifconfig and iwconfig from the command line. But that's not a good way to do things for the average WinXP user who already thinks that *nix is too complex. -- Thanks, Fernando Vilas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
