Buchan Milne, sir -- Thanks for your answer. I am going to have to get really brave and try what you say. Bravery is required because I have no clue what "fix X" entails, sigh. I'll be fully backed-up first, however, in case it turns out that I do need to reinstall the OS! -- Take care! I hope you and yours are prospering! --Paddock ------------------- Registered Linux user 190974 ( 2000-Oct-05 ).
