The link you posted had someone complaining about: "rm: unable to remove 'sys/.....' : operation not permitted" which is exactly the same problem I was referring to. The same thread also had a reply: "It seems, that the systemlogger "syslog-ng" causes the problems. I installed "sysklogd" and no errors on boot-up." Unless there were mixed threads in that discussion. > looks like a kernel recompile. How hard is that? Since the problem is cosmetic I'm not going to risk a borked system. I might have to offer a meal and a beer one Saturday to a local guru (I think I mentioned this option to Chris the other day). Yuri de Groot
