Unless I miss my guess, Llllama, kudzu isn't designed for guys like you who know what they're doing and like to change the spark plug wires themselves. It's designed for the unwashed masses who don't give a rat's pitooty about tinkering with the system. Granted it's got a ways to go, but to call it a POS is a little strong. Most of the software we love to use (or to hate) was a POS in its early days. I would wish the kudzu guys best of luck. I disabled it on my elx distro, because I didn't plan to change any hardware, but it was certainly harmless when I had it enabled. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area WWTLRD? - FreeBSD 4.4 + xfce + sylpheed _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
