I was looking up the rename command and on a website it was calling it a Dos command and the equivalent Linux command is 'mv' I keep forgetting about 'mv' but it works very well in renaming in console mode. Since I can never get that rename command to work, but mv does. Is there some alias script that doesn't work all the way. Meaning: rename is recognized, but it never changes the name. Just wondering. I'm going to use 'mv' from now on, that old dos command just seems to stick in my head (age is showing). :) > > drakx cvs tells that it has been that way since may 2000... > i fix the PATH to have /mnt/bin /mnt/sbin /mnt/usr/bin /mnt/usr/sbin > > >>3) vim doesn't work.

This is much better than the floppy rescue. Haven't had a CD go bad on me after it was made yet, like floppies do. Simple, but one of the best improvements.
