Hi Tim,


thanks for that, I got it installed now with that options and the COMPAT_43
either, but I am ofcourse keeping on, cause I want to see how the system
goes, and where the problems are, so that for the RELEASE things will be
up and running as needed. And no users' complains :)

so, do you mean is "bad" to enable that option ?
what are the problems I might encounter ?

thanks again,
alex
