I don't know, sorry. Never needed it. :-) But for these kind of questions, the rule of thumb is: If you know what you are doing, you should be skilled enough already to figure out yourself the answer to the "how" question. Otherwise, you're probably better off not doing it at all. :-) You'll probably receive much more preaching from others, so I'll just stop here. ;-) HTH, :-) Marko -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
