Right, I don't see a big demand for it, but it might be useful - that would be a good place to store them. I certainly wouldn't be bothering if didn't have 2 computers linked via ethernet (so that I can get back in and do clean reboots). 1.2 megs is big, but nothing compared to the whole source distribution...:-> Thanks, -- David Welton http://www.efn.org/~davidw Debian GNU/Linux - www.debian.org
