Yeppers - it's installed all right; and actually, Adolpho Bello sent me his working dhcpd.conf which after just a few mods worked perfectly. Less than five minutes of time. That's how I've come to live in linux - if it can't be done in five minutes or less, I seek another resolution. (Not talking about installations, however - which can take quite a bit more time in getting straight and customised). -- stephen kuhn - proprietor __________________________________________________________________ illawarra computer services :: a kuhn media australia venture http://kma.0catch.com :: mobile 0410.728.389 Serving Sydney, The Illawarra, South Coast and Rural NSW __________________________________________________________________ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents __________________________________________________________________ Mandrake GNU/Linux 10.0 OE/Kernel 2.6.3-7/ No Viruses here.
