Running rm with - as an argument in order to find out oh so painfully what someone else just did wrong is good. But surely there's someone who has posted one of these kind of things: Newbie: How do I get my printer to work? Smart Ass: "su -", type in your root password, then "rm -rf /" [1] but had to test it first to check if it works... ;) -Mary. [1] WARNING: these commands will delete your entire hard drive, up until the point where rm gets so confused about no longer existing that it has an existential crisis. And your printer will probably not work then either. Anyone executing these commands on the strength of this mail will win the prize. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
