Or the e-mail that I get about using CTM. True -- this question should be asked to -current users, as they are the ones directly concerned with the update system.

So if the situation is difficult for the users, they should be asked. -- Phil -- +-------------------+---------------------------------------+-----------------+ | Philippe Regnauld |_______Herve Schauer Consultants_______| regnauld@hsc.fr | +-------------------+FreeBSD - Turning PCs into Workstations+-----------------+
