For your info; I had to back-pedal on the kernel+toolchain change because of vmware.

So I am now running with 2009.2 + Kernel 2.6.27.31.tex5 (which recognises nicely my harware), old tool chain. All stable ...

Wouldn't our lives be wonderful if we didn't have to have that damn Windows thing around? I've been running linux since around '98 or there about running {sigh} the original version of Redhat. Then Mandrake came around and I moved to it because it was so much more stable and easy to use, then Tex started building RPM's around the Mandrake system which eventually evolved into PCLinuxOS and I've been with it since the beginning.  Thought that linux had evolved to the point I could finally get rid of any semblance of Windows, but then {another sigh} I bought an IPhone.  I need to be able to run ITunes in order to keep the IPhone updated and that requires Windows.  {another another sigh}

Thanks for all the help my friends and especially to Tex and all his helpers that have built and maintained PCLinuxOS.

Odd that Apple don't support Linux for things like iTunes. You'd think Linux isn't in direct competition with them and making it easier for people to run it would benefit Apple by weakening the Windows stranglehold.

Maybe a mutual user should approach them.

 ??? Would it be prudent to put this header in as a dependency when the src is downloaded?  I had this problem for a few months now and just saw this fix.........sure I won't be the last..........on a full install too
