Basically you install SO, then you modify the script used to direct the install for multi-user. SO has a humungus install size, and requires about a 2 meg. Individual installation for each user. There are a few sites on the web that can give you the fast start, as well (I forget the url's, but a yahoo will find 'em for ya). The management of the individual components of SO is something you need to know about, but have been left out of the docs. I've found that the mail and browser cache files need manual adjustment - "reorganization" - as SO calls it. Without re-organizing the files, your SO will plod along happily till it hits it's threshold, and then crash - without warning. Watch your load indicators, when the load gets high, reorganize. If you figure a way around this, let me know... Good luck Mr. Phelps, you'll need it. > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
