I Have had a simular experience (admitedly as a newbie, so wasn't adapt at saving the install) I had a box up for a month ... made many changes. Everything was fine. Had to shutdown for a thunderstorm. On reboot install was dorked ... which one of the 100's of changes I made killed it ??? Lesson learned: Newbie responce ... even if it is linux ... reboot so you know which change/upgrade killed it ... ie better chance to fix it. I KNOW THIS is NOT the proper way to do things with Linux ... but how else do you know? Please tell me? I'll change my evil ways... Sam
