The CPU type paragraph seems to imply that the quotes are required. OK, so I didn't rtfm well enough. I still think there is no reason why config should not be able to deal with numerics without having to quote them. I'm going to leave my 'fix' installed. -- Schmeichelnd hold und lieblich klingen // Unsers Lebens Harmonien Und dem Schoenheitssinn entschwingen // Blumne sich, die ewig bluehn -- Berry Kercheval Zehntel Inc.
