The problem is if it isn't right on the download page and translated into most languages, people will just assume they are good to go without bothering to read the FAQ until something breaks (as Jason pointed out). I also fall into this category with most software (even stuff I develop for ;). -- Mike Perry Mad Computer Scientist fscked.org evil labs
