I was thinking it might be some freaky /etc/alternatives corruption. I guess we'll never know though. I *doubt* it was filesystem corruption. Possibly, but my experience with filesystem corruption has been that once something gets to the point where one command is running as though it were another, you cd into a directory, and it's not there anymore, and then the kernel crashes, and it's tango sierra for the filesystem, do not fsck, do not pass go, do not collect $200. I think it was an early ext3 bug that caused that in my case though. That's why I still won't run ext3 to this day. Anyway, I guess it doesn't matter anymore. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
