rsync worked great! Thanks!

Next problem... I've never been able to get the menu driven httpd config
in RH8 to work. I'm now trying it on FC4. I've only messed with it a bit,
but it LOOKS like when I set up named virtural hosts, they work, but my
default page shows up as an error page saying I need to request it with
https. I have not (yet) enabled https on anything. On RH8, I finally went
in and edited the config files myself. Is there documentation on this menu
driven congif editor? Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Time to start
editing it by hand?

THANKS!

Harold
