I got switched from it to IBM in '86, shortly after the painful conversion to GECOS 6 (my cuz was one of the GECOS 6 architects and having an inside connection sure helped with the conversion). > But the fields after the full name were always optional, I guess the > blanks are at fault, the quotes don't seem to work as delimiters, do they? I will probably be doing a rebuild again tomorrow, and this time I am going to try it with just the name with the spaces and see if it works. I rsynced the F12 everything tree, only 16Gb and took 22 hours, but no more missing dependencies from the Amahi stuff...
