Tell you guys what - I'll release an ISO on the 18th if I can get packages that quickly and you guys can test the heck out of it. Then I'll release another on the 22nd for a second round of testing and we'll go with the final image on the 25th. Best I can do with an already-slipped schedule and other people in the product loop calling for my head on a plate. - Jordan > > > > > On 12-Jul-00 Brian J.
