>If I'm not mistaken, it is a much better to reboot your system using the >reboot and/or shutdown commands. I seem to remember someone saying not to >use Ctrl-Alt-Del. shutdown -h should put your machine in a halted state >for powerdown. You have to be root to use these commands. > I have experienced similar problems. I should be able to do a "shutdown -r now", but, more often than not, it will hang as described above. However, "shutdown -h now" seems to always work. This is somewhat of a problem since I must hit reset for my dual-boot system to bring up Windoze-95. -- /------------------------------------------------------------------\ | James D.
