Please reply to me directly, since I am not getting messages from the list. Perhaps something is wedged with my ISP. Miles - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lk

Thanks for letting know the list is okay. My ISP quota looks okay, so I am trying resubscribing. Sorry for the noise.
