No problem. That's what this list is for.

But it depends on what you're running (in terms of window manager/environments). This always works: at an xterm prompt (or equivalent) su to root and type reboot or perhaps halt depending on what you're doing. You can use the sudo package to enable your ordinary user account to run those programs, too. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Manager, Dueling Modems Computer Forum <http://dm.net>
