Thanks!!! :D > > Have a nice day!!! > > Enoch I don't have an answer to your question, but I'd like to point out that there are very few visible differences between 5.0 and 5.1, and probably most subsequent 5.x releases. Except in some very rare and odd circumstances, you'll be just fine running the latest 5.x. Just steer clear of the current (read: possibly unstable) branch until you're knowledgeable enough to handle a few difficult problems now and then. C. Ulrich -- http://bityard.net
