Sounds dandy... but there's no cd drive in the system, and it's five miles away at the moment. (I'm using tightvnc/ssh/webmin to admin it) ÂAnyplace I could download and install the same packages and config software? Â Â Â Â ÂThanx, Â Â Â Â Â Â ÂES -- Registered Linux user #366862 Not that you care, but this message was sent from a 750MHz Athlon system running SuSE Linux 9.1 (Kernal 2.6.4) and KMail 1.62. ÂI aslo run Red Hat Linux 8.0 (Kernal 2.4.18), Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (Kernal 2.2.20), Mandrake Linux 9.2 (Kernal 2.4.22), and YellowDog Linux 3.0 (Kernal 2.4.20) on various systems and architectures for various reasons. ÂYeah, and there's a old Mac OS in there somewhere that I use as a bootloader for Linux, and a Windows XP box used as a router for my Linux-based network, but they don't count, 'cuz they aren't "real" OS's. ÂWho me? Biased? Nah!
