Not exactly an answer you would expect, and probably not applicable in your case (where I think you really have an issue), but something you may want to consider when assuming things based on words found in some packages: in the /usr/src/linux directory do this: root@my_box# find . -type f -print |xargs grep -i 'fuck' and see what you can find. You can then replace the word above with others, similarly colorful, and you'll see how imaginative the Linux developers could be ;) Stef On Wednesday 02 April 2003 09:47 pm, Benjamin Tomhave wrote:
