That would be cool. And thanks to Sysop for that link. Added it to my fav list in my Linux folder. Should make a good reference. Hey, here's just one example of why I hate the direction Microsoft moves/thinks in. I have 2 NT4 Server machines and 1 Linux machine on a manual (non powered) DIN-5 KB/Serial Mouse KVM switch. Both NT4 and Linux work just fine with it, with the occasional device timeout message in the NT4 system log, because it hasn't "heard from" the keyboard in a while. No big deal. It still works. I threw a W2K server machine, 233MMX with DIN-5 KB and serial mouse on this KVM. Guess what? Switching the KVM away from the W2K machine after booting it kills the serial mouse driver, and the cursor is gone from the screen! Only way to get it back is by rebooting, because you can't manually restart the mouse driver. WTF Microsoft?? What are your engineers thinking? Apparently they never considered anyone would install W2K on a non PS/2 kb/mouse machine. This is just one more chink in the MS armor, and another on the long list of reasons I'm wanting to become a penguin user...
