This is wheezy, Elimar. What has replaced it? Doing the search as
recommended, and clicking on the debian answer, what I see may work, I
didn't try it, but thats the biggest kludge I've seen in a while, even
Rube Goldberg would have been impressed. So I will continue to use the
deprecated method until such time as it quits working entirely, or has
been replaced by something equally simple and elegant. That solution for
sure isn't it. Thats like me going to the store for a daily paper, a
distance of 1.5 miles, but taking a 1400 mile round trip detour to see
the arch in St. Louis Mo. BTDT, rode the elevator even. If the script
we have been using for a decade doesn't work under some obscure
condition, fix the script! Sheesh...
Thanks Elimar.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
