Circles. =8^( Yeah, that gets frustrating, sometimes. But not everyone has documentation like the Linux CD (burning or ROM, IDR which) HOWTO I was rereading* the other day, which cautions about something (paraphrased) "unless you have a newer kernel, previous to 2.0.x, there was a bug that caused...." Let's see.... that's gotta be somewhat before the turn of the century, 1998 or so, I'd guess... (That's "newer", according to the HOWTO.) Of course, keeping it topical, unlike pan, they /have/ documentation. I wonder how the wiki and other doc project are going. I still need to get around to doing some serious looking at them and see if I have any suggestions. * (I had an issue with the loopback driver and I remembered a mention of it in the CD-something HOWTOs, so I was back reading them, making sure I had the mount command line format for mounting images using the loopback correct. Turns out the problem was simply that udev doesn't seem to create loopback devices when the module is loaded, even tho there's an entry for them in the udev rules. Creating them by hand worked, and I then created a script to call to do it so I wouldn't have to lookup the major device number (block 7, IIRC) the next time.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
