The setup instructions seem not very baroque. Thanks. I'm glad to hear you use a G5 too. I guess I want the powerpc64 download when 10 final ships. My real frill is putting $HOME into RAM-based fs. Having volatile $HOME auto-populated from disk at boot is a script job, unless BSD has something, maybe some kind of unionfs. I prefer basic rsync, myself, as the point of RAM is to bypass disk activity. Thanks very much. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - The professional email service
