That sort of thing works even less in Linux than it does in Windows. If the *problem* was down to configuration, there's a good chance that the configuration files will remain, and a re-install will still use the former configuration. If the problem was down to compatibility conflicts between packages, then they'll still exist on a re-install. If the problem was due to faults in the program, they'll still be there on a re-install. If you're having programs get corrupted while installing, you've got bigger problems to deal with, something else is broken. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
