Un uh. <gratuitious self-revelation> I be a data base guy, and not a very advanced one at that. I am as aware of my Linux limitations as I am proud of my (meager) achievements. This Debian thing may just plain kill me. I don't even know where to add my favorite bash aliases. I have no idea how to switch off DHCP and go to a static IP. I _thought_ I took care of that during the installation, but apparently it didn't take. It's like week 1 in Red Hat 4.0. Ah, sweet youth ... until you have to relive it! Anyway, glad the thread suits your needs, too. But I suspect there is an installfest or two in my immediate future. -- Lan Barnes SCM Analyst Linux Guy Tcl/Tk Enthusiast Biodiesel Brewer -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
