I might be missing something, but I haven't noticed anything yet. I use Mulberry for mail, and it's working fne. (It requires the linux emulator.) I just moved to a new box and installed 7.0 RC3 on it. Updated and recompiled the kernel and world. I was comparing my old setup to the new when I realized I wasn't mounting linprocfs. If I don't need it, there's no point in mounting it. The only major problem I'm having is usb just doesn't work right at all. The system doesn't sense when I insert a new device, and I had to enable moused to get the mouse working. (But the usb keyboard works fine.?!) When I insert a usb thumb drive into a slot, I don't see the usual console messages, and there's no /dev/da?, so I'm not sure what to do next. Maybe you can help with that? -- Paul Schmehl (pauls@utdallas.edu) Senior Information Security Analyst The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/
