I've already accepted that I'm going to need to modify anaconda to add extra screens, I just don't want to have to build the 6 CDs that don't change. As a product, I need an installation CD. If I can cut down the need to build a complete updated distribution, I can spend the resources on making the product work on other distributions. If you don't have network access (for one of any number of reasons), on-line updates sort of suck, particularly if it means people can't get your product in the first place... richard. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- richard offer @ gmail "Specialization is for insects"
