AHHH, there it is. I think it's reasonable to assume that anything copied over from the damaged disc is at least possibly tainted or corrupted, and the problems could be way more subtle than just messed up config files. It'll probably be less painful in the long run to start from scratch :/ > It did work fine, for several reboots, but apparently there was a problem > that had escaped detection until now.

No doubt, but a constant series of subtle, inexplicable bugs can be just as much of a pain. I say salvage your data files & rebuild the programs. -- Chris Devers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache / mod_perl / http://homepage.mac.com/chdevers/resume/ "More war soon.
