Oooooo, you have a job ahead of you my friend. Be careful and I would back up my /etc directory too. Something like this: mkdir /old-etc cp -av /etc/* /old-etc/ That should work. At least you have something to fall back on. Cheeeze, 200, that's likely all of them. Glad to have helped. Hope that tip above helps too. ;-) Dale :-) :-) :-) -- www.myspace.com/dalek1967
