Have you ever actually done this and had a working system? I have seen several reports of the various ways in which the system dies subsequent to this kind of effort, so I would be interested if you have a 'known good' recipe. And to the OP - you have been warned, repeatedly! Don't do this. Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
