Oh, and I installed Fedora 7 instead of the default Fedora Core 4 on my desktop. Why does the linux emulation pick 2.4.2 as the kernel version number to report (by default) and not 2.6.11 (their kernel version shipped with Fedora 4)? Seems like the ports should and linux module should be updated... Rudy
