I read somewhere that you need to re-compile your kernel with VCD support for the CD (or filesystem). I'm not sure if this option is available in the standard kernel or if you need to download a patch from somewhere. Gerry

There must be some entrenched attitudes here. I don't see why people want to punish others for not understanding the syntax of a command that most people never use. I must admit that the neatest trick I've seen is that used by egroups: sending *anything* to the address [EMAIL PROTECTED]
