Sure, that's what most of us always do - download from Apache and leave the Novell stuff as is; and just launch ower own TC instance; but just that fails now because of the issue you just found. I'll try to find someone responsible at Novell - please if possible dont delete yet your NetWare VM, they might have questions or such which I probably cant answer... thanks very much for looking into this issue! greets, Guen. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
