Neither, no. It seems that you've entered "whiptail:" (with the colon) when plex86-kernel-2.4.20 asked you "Which users do you want in the Plex86 group?". I suggest using 'dpkg-reconfigure plex86-kernel-2.4.20' to remove the colon, or perhaps just remove that username altogether. The appearance of "whiptail:" could have been a bug - I don't know the package well enough to be sure. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
