Ah, my fault Terry. I have -STABLE installed on a spare disk, and I
give that disk away for the `trial period' duration. To those who
borrow it go the words of my previous message. They usually take the
normal disks of their systems out, and boot my -STABLE installation.
Log in as 'guest', password 'guest', and fool around with the machine
all they want.
Since I only have one spare disk, this can be done only by one person
at a time, which I regret at times. But anyway, I'm way OT now...
