I do update a couple times a week tho. If it has been a while, I may not remember it if I did. I do read the messages so if it was in there, I most likely did. Would have been cute to remove it tho and not be able to log back in. I learned the hard way to do a pretend first. Sort of make sure it is going to still work after words. Thanks for the info. Dale :-) :-) Oh, still no DSL here. They been working on the box tho. Maybe soon. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
