I do have the init.d, just no .c. And the vsftpd command does not work in the init.d directory, even though vsftpd is there. But I did killall, and now it stops on boot-up, with some kind of message I'll have to remember it and look it up. I think it was 3 letters and a colon. But I press enter, and then I get to the login prompt. So I uninstalled vsftpd, and I still have the same problem during boot-up. Now when I try and re-install, or install anything, I hear it trying to download from kernel.org and it will not go past 0%. Glenn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joseph C.
