Good People--
Thanks for some great replies--
I'm off to try another fresh install while trying to make the best of
everyone's advice.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
By the way, someone asked about ColdFusion and kernel updates:
It is my understanding from my research that the problem with the Verity
search engine lies with glibc incompatibilities... i would think that if I
have to compile with an newer kernel to get network drivers to work, I might
be ok. we'll see.
Thanks again--
jason
