Ease off a little Ben. Just let it set awhile. My first go round with linux about late 1996 I had a linux box with no network for mnths before I got it to work. I must have reinstalled 4.1 and 4.2 at least 20 times each. (At least a dozen). Reinstall is the standard fix for people who don't know what they are doing. I reinstalled every release repeated up to about 6.2 before I started to see how to fix things. My linux career continued along that line for several years before I began to catch on. I'm still a dummy about many things. There may not be many on this list anymore that were there back then and remember my long and continuous posting of every possible question. Many times repeating things ad infinitum. I think you just tried too many things too quick. Take a break and come back with a new attitude. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
