But, being the perpetual tinkerer, I thought I would kick the tires as many ways as I could. Now, learning has occurred, and I don't have to pick around trying to get X going when I boot the lts kernel. The x86_64 kernel boots and works just fine so far. I'll work wit the i686 kernel today time permitting. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
