I do too! Although I strongly suggest that section of the book NOT refer to anything online, but include whatever's important as succinct "notes". I strongly recommend all systems be built on disconnected, standalone boxes. I was surprized the book doesn't! One of the "war stories" I've collected was IKEA/Western Union(?) began building a system on a Friday on an internet connected box. It wasn't finished by quitting time, and by the time they got back to the job on Monday morning it wasn't "theirs" anymore! But they didn't expect that and put it into corporate service unawares. This 6.6 system I've been working on booted to single user mode. -- Paul Rogers [email protected] http://www.xprt.net/~pgrogers/ Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
