On 4.1? My earliest RH is 3.0.3, and then 4.2... I don't think
the 3.0.3 version has it though.

Hehehe. Yeah, that is how I felt too. I used to religiously
purchase the Infomagic Linux Developers Resource about twice a
year, and then have a blast with all of the stuff. There was so
much stuff, so many tools, that you couldn't even get to try half
of the stuff until the next release was out. The last LDR 6 disk
set I got was for RedHat 5.2. After that I got ethernet access
to the net and just downloaded the distribution myself and burned
it. Now that everyone distributes ISO images online, life is
much much simpler. Now I just get what I want and make my own
CD's. Cheaper too. ;o) Sunsite and tsx-11 which used to come
on the LDR disk set are not as important to me anymore, because
redhat contrib has a lot of the cool stuff packaged in RPM
format...
My how times have changed... In a few years we'll be using
DVD-R, and cramming our ISP's pipes full of linux downloads. And
they thought MP3 was bad for bandwidth! ;o)
Take care,
TTYL

I've overclocked my keyboard interface. It's quite messy dipping my
hands into the mineral oil, but *MAN* is my keyboard ever fast now!
