It also helps if, before doing something dangerous, you think about: What is most likely to go wrong? What are possible approaches to fixing that if it happens? What software will I need to implement those fixes? Do I have that software? Do I know how to use it? Will it still work if this action breaks something? Going through this thought process will turn panic into precision. Trust me, anybody who administrates systems will eventually (and more than once) step on their unit with golf cleats. -- Shawn McMahon | McMahon's Laws of Linux support: http://www.eiv.com | 1) There's more than one way to do it AIM: spmcmahonfedex, smcmahoneiv | 2) Somebody thinks your way is wrong
