Eventually we might want to make that dependent on = environment variables maybe? For example on the Mac I have been using this for a while to see kernel = boot messages: % sudo nvram boot-args boot-args -v But I am not entirely confident with variable naming or sharing on = dual-boot machines yet. It seems the new world order has quite a bit to = discover (research) still ;-) =97=20 Bjoern A. Zeeb "Come on. Learn, goddamn it.", WarGames, 1983
