Hi there. I've found that if I really want to get out of trouble the most painless way of doing things is to just reformat and start from scratch. In my case, I have all my configuration files backed up on a 200Mb fat32 partition on this drive I use for linux so if I run into trouble I can just restore my settings soon after an install. just out of interest, it took me less than 2 hours about a week aago to reformat and reinstall slackware 7.1. Try doing that with windows. I garentee you can't. Shaun.. Cat, n.: Lapwarmer with built-in buzzer. Email: shauno at goanna.net.au On Sat, 8 Sep 2001, Thomas D. Ward wrote: > Hi, list.
