A new PC is in the pipeline, which should solve these problems but until then ! ... -- | || ||| || r a z o r f i s h s t o c k h o l m Lukas Knutsson >>tel + 46.8.527.90457 mobile + 46.709.640720 >>http://www.razorfish.com _______________________________________________ mailing list lin...@li... http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/linux1394-devel |
