Thank you for the prompt reply. I suspected that this is what 'unspawn'
was referring to,
but the threads were not specific (I found no link to the original
post). There is however no
mention of where to FIND the script.
Do you (or anybody else) have a link to it. A decent how-to would also
be of great help.
I am "growing", but I am still a Linux infant and know even less about
scripts.
Otherwise, I'll patiently await an update for FC5 support.
Thanks again
MN
