Ok. I realize you have 8.2 and this is a free public list. But you've been absent from this list for quite sometime. There is no frelling need to re-subscribe just to be an asshole. Take you attitude and shove it. If you don't like SuSE or you don't like the answers you get here..leave. It's as simple as that. You've insighted several flame wars on the list in the last 3 days and it's getting damn annoy. There should be this much of a discussion over a damn serial mouse. YaST2's hardware detection screwed up..big deal get a new mouse..if you want one I'll send you one. But shut the hell up and quit being a jerk to the people of this list. It was annoying 6 months ago .. a year ago ..two years ago. Go review Redhat and yell at their users for a while. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I'll tell you what you should see.
