Re: PS/VaulePoint Problem--Can't install.



I would just like to thank you an extreme amount.  I have had this problem
for a while now on this one machine.  Initially I attempted to build my
own kernel, but failed.  With the aid of your kernel I was able to begin
the process of installing the Debian.  Thank you, thank you and thank you.  

Also a thank you to all that replied to my humble request.  

Forever in your debt,
Cap'n Fred...is very happy.
