Quite true Christof. And I must be coming over too agressively again.

I could see that MANY commands went to busybox, and I (probably mistakenly) assumed it took care of some friendly aliasing also. You really are diving into Linux, Christof. I've just been dipping my toe every once in a while. I have a few distros that I use a bit, but I'm not even remotely thinking about switching yet. Re: Baslinux. I have not been into root/profile. Normally I WOULD have viewed all readable files by now, but my Baslinux sessions have been short so far. Thanks for the tip. - Clarence Verge -- - Help stamp out FATWARE.
