When I went to school, we used to have and English teacher who taught what was/and still is called the "Queens English". Then later we came to know of the "American English" but in both cases someone ended up being right, except for the final college exams when you had to get everything right - the Queen's English. I am sure my English teacher would be thoroughly ashamed of me for having used an 'inappropriate' word. Still I do have justification - like Clinton did-- You know what I mean? ;-) Dag-Erling> Dag-Erling> If you want help with your predicament, please provide the output from Dag-Erling> dmesg and a copy of your kernel config.
