If you were building hardware, and you *had* to create tools or molds to do the job, you would do so, or you would arrange for someone else to do so. That's part of that process. Just expecting someone to do everything for you isn't going to work. The answer will be, go right ahead and use whatever else you want. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.4-65.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5. Today, it's FC7.
