I usually ignore speling erors sence I maek so many of my own, but to avoid confusion I should correct Richard's excellent advice: the name of the utilitiy is "hdparm", not "hdparam". I admit having tried to run "hdparam" myself many times, but I always get a "file not found" error! --Jeremy -- Jeremy Impson Sr. Associate Network Engineer Advanced Technologies Department Lockheed Martin Systems Integration email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: 607-751-5618 fax: 607-751-6025 -- To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the command "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the message body.
