Before you do that, what kernel version? There was a bug in one of the earlier 2.6 kernels that did that to me, and it included the /var directory so it was not recorded. Just one more reason to have /var on its own partition, which I've done ever since even if disk druid doesn't like it. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
