Someone else said this changed with RHL 9; I guess so, because I wrote this for RHL 9 initially and it just worked (I actually put an RHL 8.0 BOOT kernel on the floppy). -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
