Ahh, so many cats, and so few recipes here Ingo. In this case cats=patches &
recipes=time to test adequately. I do have another box, but it would
probably take a week & about a big buck to get that old rh7.3 brought up to
date & suitable, and its only a 500MHZ K-III, which might make the diffs more
obvious. It would need a video card to replace its dinosaur Diamond and a
fresh dvd drive. And its motherboard has very buggy usb chips. TYAN S-1590.
Never could get anything bigger than a mouse packet through them.
