I've included the TPT latency timings. Do these look normal? These tests occured in X with netscape and gnomeicu. It should be noted that /dev/tty12 is being used for syslog info for console. Shawn. Destination Count Min Max Average

What is the best way to apply a patch on top of a patch already applied? For example, with original sources 2.4.0 i applied 2.4.1pre7 but now that pre8 is out, how do i apply those new patches without having to delete the whole linux dir and untar 2.4.0 again just to apply pre8? thanks, Shawn
