Hello from Gregg C Levine Um, Todd, way to go choosing Slackware, that's what I use. Now what's this about the slowness of the bootup scripts? I use Slackware here, and about all I can say, it's a bit strange about those scripts. Of course, this is version, 8.0, I haven't ordered copies of 8.1 on CD yet. ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
