Prayer and fasting work for me. :-) Actually, starting with pathckit-0.2.1, you can SAFELY and CLEANLY install deinstall all of the patches. The only gotcha in patchkit-0.2.1 is a patch problem, not a upgrade problem. Patch00083 causes some grief with certain (many) keyboard controllers, and should be removed for most machines. However, I have heard rumors that the next version of the patchkit will have a *real* fix for this. I have also heard *rumors* that the patchkit is in testing right now. We can hope that it will be released sometime in the next week or so. Nate -- osynw@terra.oscs.montana.edu | Still trying to find a good reason for nate@cs.montana.edu | these 'computer' things.
