Mark A good reference for nearly _everything Debian_ can be found in the debian-reference package. I had a simular question recently and, found the answer, and a lot more in there. I'm rather embarassed that, after using Debian for 14 years, I had never before really looked though it before. Although not completely up-to-date, it has a wealth of information and will save you a lot of time finding answers to your problems. As me how I know. :-( Wayne -- There are never enough hours in a day, but always too many days before Saturday. _______________________________________________________ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
