It's stopped the way that just about everything command-line-based has been stopped for the last 40 years or so: CTRL C The escape key wasn't actually meant for breaking out of things, it was meant for escape codes (escape, plus something else, is a code). > Any suggestions how to work out what I need to kill in SELinux to let > me share a folder? On FC7 there's a SELinux management system adminstration GUI, and in there's a boolean sub-section which let you set options related to what will be allowed with Samba. There's probably something similarly named on FC8. Sounds like it might be worth your while to get one of those pocketbook Fedora things from a news agent, the ones that are about the size of the Readers Digest, and come with install discs. They're cheap, and usually come with basics for beginners. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
