yes, that is correct. if the user wants ECN, they should compile the kernel to enable it. >[...] > So do whatever you want, but please do it in the right place. which is in the kernel-image .config file. 1. stock kernel-images should only include options which are necessary for booting & installing debian 2. they should not include non-essential experimental features. ECN fails on both counts. ECN is a good thing, and widespread adoption of it should be encouraged - BUT enabling it should require an informed act by the user since it is likely to result in network outages at the moment. craig -- craig sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fabricati Diem, PVNC. -- motto of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch
