Yes, I believe in that particular instance that was the case. And normally the files.ext~ files wouldn't cause a problem, I agree. However in that particular case they were in fact causing some sort of weird behavior. Unfortunately I can't just now recall the details. I'll try to look a bit later in the archives to see if I can spot the thread and whether or not there was a problem worth considering. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
