Well, I'd be glad to help. However, it's a rather long time that I've left linux behind, and I do not seem to recall that much of it anymore. If I find the time to install some recent distribution and refresh what my memory is not prone to recall easily, that is definitely a nice thing to do :-) If anyone else is interested, or you Nik can start something like this, I'm certainly eager to help in any way I can. -- Giorgos Keramidas < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > Find my public pgp key at: finger://keramida@diogenis.ceid.upatras.gr/ See the headers of this message for the key fingerprint.
