Sometimes updates do break things, but when this happens we usually see a flood of problem reports. I have not seen that. Typically running the update is the proximate cause, but not the real cause. Something was askew just waiting for a nudge to become a problem. I just had a terrible problem last weekend where a folder with 60GB of client files vanished. I spent a couple hours at command line trying to make the folder visible. Then I did the simple, dumb thing: ran disk utility. That fixed everything. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
