I don't disagree - I guess it's just a matter of how exactly you view that command. I look at "su" and read "ess you" (separate letters) while you apparently always read it is "sue" (one word). Is there any real standard for how various commands should be "pronounced"? -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
