Or at least - there is a very good chance he would. Your assumption that because *you* have no idea what to do means that it's same for Oleg is false. If you give the *exact* version Oleg could have installed the same version on a box of his own and attempt to duplicate the problem. If he succeeded he could have install a kernel debugger and trace what causes the malfunction and perhaps fix it. I've seen Oleg do this kind of job at least once and the question of whether or not he would have done it this time is directly related to your attitude and the respect you show for his effort and precious time. Right now I don't think he will bother giving you the time of day and so shall I. > And I did not, In any place in my email said "I have a problem, please > help me" or anything similar.

With this kind of attitude I think we will 'spear' you all right - spare you from your misery and send your posts hereafter to the forgotten limbo planes realms of our kill files...
