That's what I was pointing out. It seemed Jorge was thinking it did that without asking and by default. I posted to make sure he knew it didn't run wild on him if he wanted to try it. As he pointed out in another post, running as root can create havoc and running something the first time as root can make one . . . nervous. I haven't checked the options yet but by default, it does ask and give the option to do nothing. I was hoping that would at least give Jorge some confidence to try it. He may not need it, but he might and not realize it yet. Dale :-) :-)
