I will then compare app02 with app04 as I installed some packages last night thinking they were needed. If they aren't needed I will remove them from app04 and app07 and see how those stand up. Then it will be cleanup app03 and we should be golden. app01 is special though.. it carries the old wiki on it, moin and some other cruft that I found as I was digging throuhg it. It is almost as special as bapp01 but only just. -- Stephen J Smoogen. "The core skill of innovators is error recovery, not failure avoidance." Randy Nelson, President of Pixar University.
