Thanks for the info Ross! I'm kinda Linux'd out right now. I did however
poke around the ftp sites they listed on the (SUSE) site and of course
trying to even figure those damn things out takes a ph'd as well! I
totally forget what the hell I was planning on doing whenever I got to
the place where I thought I was going, so I just left...... <sigh>
