I'm guessing he did a re-install instead of a configure and just didn't want to admit it. And my take on the Linux-compat problem was that he got a broken version bc he was on 5.0, but that definitely set off an alarm in my head since I've never once had linux-compat not work fine so mebbe he didnt install it... Overall he just needs to google, tinker and maybe buy a book, which was my experience with Linux as well. I hope he does that for the 4.x review. ===== ----------------------------------------------------------- Get a taste of Religion ... eat a priest! ----------------------------------------------------------- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
