Yes... that one is okay. There is more, though: I have discovered that if one takes the time to do an FTP installation the result is an operable system --ppp0 included-- but if you install from CD & do an update it somehow breaks certain things --ppp0 among them. I have thoroughly tested this over many FTP installations on various boxes --both desktop & notebook. As far as I am concerned, the results are conclusive.
I'll have to consider reverting to the original kernel on the dvd (SuSE 9.1), to see if it has that problem. First, I have to consider what the patches solved. Local escalation is not a problem for me.
-- Cheers, Carlos Robinson If you have the time, and more than one box, you might try the FTP installation if you need the lastest kernel & time involved isn't a problem. I'm on 128k ISDN & it pretty well finished overnight. Cable, of course, would be much faster. ( Damn! I wish cable was available down here! -- ..."Yogi" CH Namasté Yoga Studio "If music be the food of love, why can't rabbits sing?"
