Well, 2.4.1 running with the nvidia .96 drivers. All is well, AFAIK. Time
will tell about the files structures. Still no automount. I guess I'll mess
with the patch in the future (maybe later). My son wants me to cut his hair
now (as I am a person of many talents :) ). Can't really tell much
difference in the video card performance, but tuxracer isn't much of a
challenge to it. I should download Quake or something.
Thanks,
