pooh. four minutes? hell, i've posted questions that haven't got answered for nearly an hour. four minutes ain't no record. heck, microso~1 can take DAYS before telling you that you're not allowed to access that information, or to provide you with technically correct but completely irrelevant information, or to tell you that broekn behavior is by design. oh, you're gawking at the other end of the spectrum... :) i once got an answer that predated my question, but temporal displacement notwithstanding, it was attributable to borked clock settings. -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #25 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Did you know you have MORE THAN ONE CONSOLE to use? There's six, by default: try Control-Alt-F6 to see console six, Ctl-Alt-F3 for console 3, and so forth. (If you don't use the X window display system, you don't need to include the control key.) Each console can have its own login, running its own jobs. Very handy! Also see http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/ ...
