It's a useless sentence. If you want help, you need at least to tell us why it didn't work, or what happened. You also need to tell us _how_ you tried it, and it would help if you let us know about which details of the original setup you remember, and which you eventually forgot. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
