I have decide not to bother with it. Its uninstalled again.
But they have warned me, but I thought yeah yeah, will give it a try.
I wouldn'nt do that downgrading. I should hav tried it a short while ago
where I ran a Clarkconnect 1.3 also on RH, but cannot remember the
version of RH, and will not too.

It helps on the eTrust, but of course not on my pneumonia. Just standing
off the bed, and haven't slept more than 2 hours due to the cough.

Now I'll have a look for some hot and good to drink.
