Note that it is not systematic. It's just very annoying to loose all the changes when you're almost finished. I'm running 'make xconfig' on a laptop and the display goes to my desktop, so it goes through my local ethernet network. This ethernet network has an MTU of 1460 (because of a bad PPP/masquerading interaction). I have: Debian 2.2 kernel 2.2.17 XFree86 3.3.6 -- Francois Gouget [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://fgouget.free.fr/ Computers are like airconditioners They stop working properly if you open WINDOWS
