An advantage of using some hardware specific configdb packages is that you can also set some other standard options, like selecting the right modules in /etc/modules, some network options and comment out the normal ttys. I will keep your idea in mind. > Best and thanks, > > Paul > Regards, Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
