Well, maybe "different" complexity, since none of this stuff is simple. ;) What we have now is better than what we had before, but once I get virtuale= nv fixed and uploaded, I think I'll come back around to looking at what you suggest. (Certainly, patches welcome in the meantime.) Fortunately, I believe we have all the tools in place (e.g. dirtbike) to generate the whee= ls at install time. It does mean some extra run-time dependencies, but that's probably fine. Cheers, -Barry
