However, you are likely to get a helpful response if you ask LinuxFormat *before* you start.

There are problems with this: 1. You would need to check that the older advice still applies - software moves quickly and the examples, problems and fixes may simply be out of date. 2. Old articles cannot deal with newer aspects - there may well be tools or solutions available now that make the advice redundant, even if it would still work. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
