Scott, I forgot to mention that you can find out alot about how things go together by poking around in the /var/adm/packages directory. Each installed slakware package creates a file containing a listing of the files installed with that package. So, for example, if you wanted to find where the cron files come from you could do: grep cron * 73, Chris w1gm at sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
