Yes, I understand all of that, and mentioned most of it in the post (stating that this would not be an out of the box set up, couldn't be bothered to type it all out as it's been bashed through many times on the list, and I agree with Fedora's stance). With regards to the conflicts, I also pointed that out. I'm not giving an answer to every thing, I'm making a suggestion, for hopefully some one to come back with a positive agreement/disagreement with what I suggested. -- Douglas Furlong Systems Administrator Firebox.com T: 0870 420 4475 F: 0870 220 2178
