The only time I ever screwed up a UNIX box (and I've been using UNIX for a _LONG_ time), it was actually because of Linux. Back in 1993 when I first started using Linux I used to get Slackware etc. distros by downloading them at work and writing them to a bunch of floppies to take home and load on my Intel box. I had a SPARC running SunOS 4.1.x at work then. Of course, to write the image to the floppy from a SunOS box you'd use dd to write to /dev/fd0. Well, one time I mistyped that as /dev/hd0 instead. My system didn't like that too much _AT ALL_. :-/ :). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
