Just because you could not install 7.0 does not mean 7.0 is flawed. =20 > I don't see the reason to run the latest and greatest for a=20 > file/web server.

You needn't install what you do not use. This is true for 7.0 as much as it was for 6.3 and prior releases. I am not questioning your preference for 6.3, but please do not=20 discourage others from upgrading based on an idiosyncratic problem you had with the 7.0 installation. -- Sahil Tandon -------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.
