   (Still haven't sorted this problem, life has put other things in my way   
   and I'm sort of hoping when I get the Mageia 3 iso this week-end, I'll   
   install it on a seperate mount and, hoping, it will connect via USB 3G   
   natively, fingers crossed.)   
      
   But was just thinking .... in another thread, Inode that were part of a   
   corrupted orphan linked list found, to clear the problem I re-installed   
   MD2009, and I've just been wondering, is it now possible that the script   
   that was installed to my Home directory under the old MD2009 install is   
   not reconised as part of the new install of MD2009, so is that why I'm   
   getting the warning about informing my ISP/Root/whatever that I am   
   performing unauthorised activity??   
      
   Just wondering??
