Mac-on-Linux?

Thu Feb 24 15:50:50 MST 2005

I'm not sure I understand you. (Please remember, I'm new to YDL/MOL.)

As I understand it, sheep is a net driver for MOL? Are you saying that 
sheep is causing my problems?

As I read the lines of text below, I see several references to sheep in 
the first pass ("startmol") but several references to TUN in the second 
("startmol -X"). If sheep is the problem, why doesn't -X work?
