Maybe it is just me, but, but "sup and test" isn't how I test these beta releases. I take some computers, wipe them clean and install the entire kit just like a CD user would. (I've never tried the "upgrade" process, since all the warnings seem to steer you away from it.) It seems like the "sup and test" method isn't a very complete test. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Withrow, R.W.
