Hence it will not fail, right? Adding another point of failure is my problem with this. As I have said before, when I was using Mandriva, then Mandrake, the init thingy would fail on a regular basis. It is one reason I left Mandriva. I got tired of the breakage and Gentoo didn't need one. So, here I am, good or bad. ;-) Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
