The thing was one could make it bleeding edge and in 90% of the cases it accepted the installs and still worked. I know I had bleeding edge installs up and running quickly, also remember when printers were an real pain. The lsit and caldera got them going 'fast', also I remember helping getting cdrom drives working. -- Keith Antoine (GANDALF) aka 'SKIPPY' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061, Australia:: PH:61733002161 Practising Geriatric, Retired Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
