Agreed. A lot of it depend son how you do it. If you simply remove the trademarked images, etc., well yeah things will look funny/not work right. If you *repelace* them with images of the same format and size, that's a different story. Of course, if your new images look funny ... I've got several servers that are running "Red Hat Linux" 7.3. There is nothing of RH trademarks left, and everything works flawlessly. -- Bill Anderson RHCE #807302597505773 bill@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
