Humm. How can I get rid of appletalk 'dependencies'? I don't have a 
network card in my system.

Thanx. I will check this out.

Meanwhile another question saw the light. I have some trouble with my 
ZIP-disk. I compiled support as a module and I also have /etc/modules 
set to auto (+auto module loader in the kernel). When I type

mount /zip

it responds with block devide trouble and it suggest to insmod a 
module. The next thing I do is 'modprobe ppa' and I get promissing 
result. Retrying a 'mount /zip' then works. Why is the auto module 
loader not auto loading the modules?

Thanx for any directions,
