add I've never used the loongson port. That's understandable, they're a somewhat rare beast. I'll have a look at your notes later this week when I've got some time. -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.

Ahh okay. I'll have a look into doing that. This isn't a production machine, so if I balls it up, it's no big deal, the machine was literally gathering dust.
