I agree - this simple step is far too complex for anyone to manage alone. By all means bring on the spoon feeders and lift this burden from our frail selves. Don't be confused by such things as best practices and self reliance when all we need do is wait for the packagers to come to our rescue. Except the packagers don't always agree on where to put things and what to call them and so damn, we're still left to follow best practices and make sure all the work is done correctly. dp _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
