Ah... *there's* the missing link. Chainloading. One of my blind spots, meaning that I don't know anything about it except wrt Windows, which was and is no longer a factor. So I didn't try that wrt SuSE. Thanks. I learn something new every day around here. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
