Don't they sort of *do* the same thing? Different method but still a boot up helper thingy. This is why I started calling them init thingy. There are a few init thingys and I just lump them all together since they sort of serve the same function but in a different way. Feel free to set me straight tho. As long as you don't tell me my system is broken and has not been able to boot for the last 9 years without one of those things. ROFL Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
