I've done that part with help of Mike Smith and others. I still have the changes around somewhere. it was the simpeler part of the job. The harder part is to get something to be usable to replace the variable part with. There has been some discussion on how to get information to the kernel on the variant part. And what kind of problems would go with that. I started on an excursion into sysctl to make it much more dynamic. And use the information stored in there as subsitute values for the variant-links. But since I ran out of holyday time, it has been shelved. The discussions should still be in the archives. Most probably under variant links. --WjW -- Internet Access Eindhoven BV., voice: +31-40-2 393 393, data: +31-40-2 606 606 P.O. 928, 5600 AX Eindhoven, The Netherlands Full Internet connectivity for only fl 9.95 a month.
