How would using a init thingy keep me from using a init thingy anyway? Huh? <scratches head> I don't have to have a init thingy today either. Think about it. LOL If I reboot and the init thingy fails, I just edit grub and bypass the init thingy. Fixed that pretty quick. ^_^ By the way, eudev is already in the tree but a dev on -dev said they had a couple up coming fixes before needing any testing. It is REALLY happening. ;-) Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
