If not, I should be looking at caosity and mandrake, to have an alternative when I cease to be safe (or able at all!) to run RH9 ... -- Beartooth Autodidact <id est karhunhammas (at) lserv dot com> antiquated sclerotic sub-technoid, trying to learn linux Keep in mind that I know little of what I'm talking about.
