I have reviewed module-init-tools ; but, I do not see anything there that I am missing. I will upgrade from 3.0-pre9-1 to 3.0-pre10-1 after I post this. What else can I do to automate loading of `st'? -- Best Regards, mds mds resource 877.596.8237 - Dare to fix things before they break . . . - Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we think we know.
