Yeah, googling with an additional qualitifer of "site:lists.debian.org" or something like that. The disadvantage is that you don't get the ability to search on date ranges and stuff like that, which using the search engine provided by Debian for the mailing lists gives you. The advantage is that Google finds a lot of stuff that the Debian search engine misses. But either way, do search the lists, even if it seems inefficient for you, as an act of kindness/respect towards the people you'd like to help you. -c -- Chris Metzler cmetzler@speakeasy.snip-me.net (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear
