hey! congrats. It's good to hear that you got the problem taken care of. way to go, although I wasn't suggesting a reinstall, just a search and rescue. The rescue command at the installation prompt loads the stock install program into memory and allows you to mount your existing OS under /mnt as an inactive partition giving the user the chance to make changes and do things you wouldn't normally be able to do otherwise. however, you've brought out some really good information that I'm sure will come in very useful to many in the future. -- daRcmaTTeR --------------------------------------------------------------------- If at first you don't succeed do what your wife told you to do the first time!
