thanks for clearing that up & for all the info! I love the stable lenny release, I dread upgrading the kernel, mainly because of the NVIDIA driver.. not sure why, but it seems that every time I changed the kernel, besides X not working, it also made my network stop... but that's another story. For now I guess I'll just wait for the release! -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
