This is what I was thinking at first, but it sounds from further discussion like this shell is still there after installation has completed and the machine has been rebooted. Like whatever it is that spawns that shell is still present in the initrd that is installed with the kernel. And this is the case only if using the kernel 2.4 boot floppies. Is this all accurate? noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
