Kudos, Mr. Ellis. I followed your HOWTO yesterday on a semi-production server and it was relatively painless. 'e2fsck' disappeared which made for an interesting reboot, but I accept the blame for that. Everything else went fine. No horror stories. And now there are a few zillion packages to choose from. -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet - 410 South Phillips Avenue - Sioux Falls, SD 57104 phone: (605) 334-4454 fax: (605) 335-1173 mailto://[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net PGP Key ID: 0xA33B86E9 - Public key available at keyservers PGP Key fingerprint: CE03 10AF 3281 1858 9D32 C2AB 936D C472 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
