It's an interesting point though. Frank stated it's the 'default', but I guess it's really only the default for new installs. Seems like this is possibly a job for some eselect processor? Anyway, glad at this point I don't have it currently installed but it sounds like I probably should switch one of these days. Cheers, Mark
