But it took me well over two hours, and that was after spending several hours studying the FM (practically memorising it, actually). Things which threaten to make my PC unbootable have that effect on me. I was surprised by the number of config files which had changed (though I was surprised not to see inittab amongst them). I had a few problems with consolefont and keymaps, but that probably had to do with my converting from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 the day before. I take my hat off to Christian Faulhammer and William Hubbs, true gentlemen, who took so much trouble to make a difficult transition so smooth and easy. > Thanks for the feedback. > Dale > :-) :-) -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
