Maybe it does work for 99% of the people out there. I know nothing of that. And yes, my toes are sensitive to things such as this. If I lose my op sys it takes me months to get it back to the condition I had before its destruction. You may not believe me but I assure you that is the case. The information I have garnered here has helped to maybe stick my toes in the fire again. I will wait a while and see if there is any good soul that can explain the procedures for a manual setup. And if that is pie in the sky then at that point I will decide if walking around with a few less toes is worth it. Thanks. -- George Hester _________________________________ "Christopher Faylor" wrote in message news:20020420163557.GB3256@redhat.com... > On Sat, Apr 20, 2002 at 03:19:40AM -0400, George Hester wrote: > >Do you have all your toes? > > Sure.
