Well, I have used eix-sync but not rsync directly as a command. I sync once a week, give or take. Light bulb warning. So null and console are on the drive for it to start up but once it mounts /dev then it uses that "virtual" thing? Cool, if I understand that correctly. I like it when my light bulb comes on. It's so . . . . . pretty. LOL Dale :-) :-) P. S. My friend got called in to work. May be done tonight after all. :-(
