Desktop I also run FC3, Hahant 3.95 AS, Debian/Sarge, Debian/Woody, Ubuntu Warty and RHL 7.3, and I've just retired FC 2.90 that was masquerading as an access point. Oh, Mandrake 10 CE too. I do seem to have udev on my demo box. Haven't noticed any info in setting it up so it's as installed. -- Cheers John
