And that was one of the reasons I called the 6502 a drain bamaged cpu. Now, while I'm here, let me change the subject. I've been unable to download more than about the first 123k of openssl096b-0.9.6-18.i386.rpm from the updates site here in the us that yum uses. I've also tried it with mozilla-1.7rc1, which also hangs at about that same point. I've got several things that won't run because they cannot find /usr/lib/libssl.so.2 from that package. Do I have a problem, or is the file itself defective on that fedora-redhat.com site? In which case where else might I look for it? >KAS -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
