No LL, You are widely off the mark. I sent the message from my office Linux box. Incidentally I have got Knoppix installed onto my harddisk both at home and office. I came to like Debian after using all sorts of Distro (RH, Mandrake, SuSE - you name it). And since I could not lay my hands on a Debian set of CDs, Knoppix came in handy.
Also I had checked for the running processes. The problem, as I have mentioned in an earlier post, was because somehow the permissions for the kppp got changed. -- narsingh --- LinuxLingam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Monday 18 August 2003 04:05 pm, you wrote: > > Hello everybody, > > Last night while I was browsing the Net, my PC > > rebooted due to a power problem.
