hey matt, for some reason, i find that totally bizarre, but it appears you're right - i can't find any of my machines that don't have these actions. i don't agree with a distribution making corrections for what's probably a (minor) kernel module dependency bug. even if bttv used to stack incorrectly, that was better left as a "look it up on google" than to stick it into modutils/actions. kernel developers were bound to correct the mistake at some point... anyway, thanks. i'll make the report right now. pete -- GPG Instructions: http://www.dirac.org/linux/gpg GPG Fingerprint: B9F1 6CF3 47C4 7CD8 D33E 70A9 A3B9 1945 67EA 951D _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
