Oy. Now they tell me! *Chuckle* Yeah, that was it. Apparently I overwrote a bunch of files that I had edited. I was foolish enough to think that the new files would be based on the versions sitting on the hard-drive. As things currently stand I've decided to burn back to ground zero and start again. It's drastic, but there are several reasons for this: 1> I changes 30+ files in /etc with this latest update. I have no clue which ones I changed, and don't want to keep having nasty surprises for a while... (No network, no su, etc.) 2> I compiled the kernel with the wrong gcc flags. This might have been the source of some of my problems. But now I've learned from that too, and what the flags *should* be. So I'm starting over. All that it costs me is a bit of time, and I have another home computer to play with in the meantime. So it's not as bad as it could have been... Krikket -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
