With my 'record' of reinstalls - I thought it was worth the try. And I got the reward... Only problem I saw was a message from one of the rpms was a dependancy on the 2.2.14 headers. So I simply reloaded them. I don't yet know if I've given myself another headache, Advise anyone?? Now all I have to do is make DoD work the way I want it to...
