Hi Russell,
I printed out the FAQ last night and went over it, but I have to read it
again more closely. I apologize for not giving you config scripts, but as I
have no prior knowledge about this subject, I didn't know what you would
want.
When I referred to 8.2, I meant Linux Mandrake version 8.2.
If you could tell me what config scripts to post, I will be happy to do that.
As I said, I need to reread the FAQ again, study it, actually, so I
understand a little better what's going on here.
Thanks,
Robert
