Thanks Eric, I'll try that patch. Are you perhaps another candidate for
developer privilege at Etherboot@Sourceforge?

Could be.  Though I try to think of myself as more of an extermely
interested user.  I already have an account at sourceforge.

Convincing me to check in stuff could be the tricky bit.  3/4 of the

before the commited.

Anway.  This is probably the last you will hear of me for about 2
