I thought that should be a text file. I know I had to edit mine on the new rig a long time ago but was to chicken to try it. I opened a weird file once and made a mess so I didn't want to try that again. I wonder, that likely came from the stage3 tarball that way. Bug maybe?? Some files I just copied over but some I can't since one is 64 bit and one 32 bit. Example, parts of make.conf was a serious no on that. I'll test this on the old rig first. ;-) May even just rename it and start fresh, just in case. >> This is interesting.

The version is 2.17. We have storms close by so I shutdown the rig but pretty sure it was just a recompile of the same version. Once this storm passes, I'll try a newer version. Thanks. Maybe this will get things moving again. Dale :-) :-)
