You said you upgraded to 7.2 from 7.1? I didn't, I blew away slackware 8 and installed clean.

I know almost as much as you do <snivel> it's the time, I need more hours in a day! </snivel> The Llllama! posted a step on playing avi/divx not long ago and there's also a step on dvd full-screen with nVidia video cards, those will be where I start ...just as soon as I find some of that ellusive thing called 'spare time'. > >yes, you do have to create (a ~/bin) but isn't that 'normal'? > > I don't follow your reasoning for that. I see it as 'incomplete'. Perhaps it is, I dunno... I created ~/bin quite some time ago (when you *did* have to do it all by hand) for my own little collection of handy scripts so I just never noticed 'they' didn't, I guess. It's always just been included in all my backups and carried from one distro to the next with me. A person could always just make an /etc/skel/bin so it *would* be created for any new users, if they were so inclined. ;) -- Myles Green Calgary AB Canada Alberta Linux Step by Step Mirror: http://www.telusplanet.net/public/mylesg/ _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
