I think OP got the idea from a co-worker at his place of work before his first post, but I'm not sure. When one uses 'rm -rf' on a very large tree for the first time, it is easy to believe that it is stuck and not working. When it happened to me, I was really worried about my system. Now I want to be supportive. The reason that the emails exist seems to be something of a long ago local screw-up. I hope some local jackass doesn't insist on exacting punishment. -- Paul E Condon pecon...@mesanetworks.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
