It definately would be much too easy ;) Well, it doesn't help. We could start with SUSE and ask the devs to include such a file, then talk with Fedora, Mandriva, Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Knoppix, and a few dozen others. It still wouldn't help. Because the file is not included in past releases ;) cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDVIrOr3NMWliFcXcRAhhSAJ9pjyzw193PK3y2shWtpsCt3seGqgCfWWQg cq8T2p4M+F7cS8Jjxw3aOLQ= =QTpR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
