Hello from Gregg C Levine Given the versions being worked with for the S/390 crowd, I agree. However, that version is the latest one being distributed with the Slackware collection, they also include kernel version 2.2.19. I suppose I can snag a newer version after 2.4.5, such as 2.4.18, or anything else, between 2.4.5 and 2.4.18. I have not decided on where to go from here, with this setup. And thank you for getting back to me, even here. ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
