Seriously, thanks for your info. I will get the latest installed. However, I have another question for now. Cirrus has a patch that needs to be applied to the ecos tree. This patch is for the ecos v2.0, I know that someone (most likely me) will need to go through and make sure that the patch does not break the system. But can I post the final patch on the list so that you can have a look at it?
