No, you're right. I don't remember exactly what led me to this conclusion. Something wasn't working since apt-get couldn't access my cdrom drive after reboot, but I don't remember exactly what the symptoms were anymore.

I apologize for not following up on this report at the time I solved these issues. -Jonathan Brandmeyer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
