Not simple, unless you're familiar with it. OFM use obviates most need to know bash and the many tools bash users need to accomplish useful work. In 20+ years of OFM use, I've found little need to use or learn many tools for both cmdline and X, as OFM incorporates so many necessaries and works regardless where you are, be it Windoz, DOS, cmdline, XFCE, Unix or whatever your favorite or captive environment. >> Right.

As long as there is some OFM that works the same on both cmdline and X on the live CD, I'm OK with it. I'm just not sure there is any other OFM option but mc in buntu. -- "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry." James 1:19 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
