The defaults work the same as before. Don't stick stuff in the default kernel that don't make any sense. I just went back to your original email, and it doesn't make any more sense now than it did then. (No offense). It's too technical for the 'average' user, but you're making the default verbosity enough to peak the interest of the average user. Help me help you by making your instructions more clear please. Don't assume I have a clue, then I will be more able to help you do whatever it is you're trying to do. :) Nate
