I looked in the Handbook and FAQ, all it talks about is for an install. The worst part is, I have 1 machine running this way (Intel motherboard) and I remember I tested doing that on an identical Vectra. The intel box is running 4.11-Stable (I haven't got around to upgrading yet, weekends are tight). The Vectra is 5.4-Stable (cvsuped yesterday). What I've tried (loader.conf) doesn't seem to work. Thanks, Paul. -- ______ Paul T. Root / _ \ 1977 MGB / /|| \\ ||\/ || _ | || || || \ ||__// \______/
