My system is like that too. You're wrong, though; cron doesn't do anything if anacron is installed. _nothing_, not even run anacron. /usr/sbin/anacron runs as a daemon and does the run-parts stuff. If you check the package dependency, anacron only recomends, not depends on, cron.
Go ahead and remove cron. -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , ns.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
