I plan to update to 7.1-RELEASE as soon as I can get to the console, probably within the next month or so. Is 7.1-PRERELEASE recent enough for -f8? It was built Oct. 9th. Is there any big advantage of -f8 over -fc4? I guess I just *feel* like -f8 would be more "updated" and less hassle in the long run. However I know that with software, newer isn't always better. :) Thanks, Drew -- Be a Great Magician! Visit The Alchemist's Warehouse http://www.alchemistswarehouse.com
