Anne; Hi, good to hear from you. I've always liked your answers, you do a great job of being very diplomatic. Thank you. -> Personally, I'm on one of my tirades today. But you've seen them from me before if you've been around this list any length of time. <- I really wasn't bad-mouthing the distro. And I understand that rc(n) is beta, and is bound to have problems. Which is why my original post was a simple question, to see if I was being brain damaged, and missed a previously reported problem, or if it was a new bug that I would need to report. I was then told not to report it here, to take it to the cooker list, etc. My critisizm was not for the distro. If I didn't like MDL, I wouldn't bother with it. It was for the (seemingly) self appointed list moderators that continually feel it their duty to play cop on this list. However. That turned out to be a misunderstanding, and I've made my appology to the individual involved. FWIW: I have 9.1rc2 installed, and with the exception of the hostname issue, am happy with it. This is the first version of 9.1 that actually installed on my tired old PC (can't afford any fancy new computers..). So far, I'm quite happy with it. It even "correctly" detected my printer, and set it up at install time (a detail that another well known distro seems to have overlooked). Ric
