You need to do the root user thing -- Go to www.info.apple.com and type Enable Root User in the search box and you can read how to do it. Or buy the Missing Manual by Pogue and read how -- http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/103-9433238-6436657 Or get one of the freeware trashers like Obliter8 or BatChmod from VersionTracker -- http://www.versiontracker.com/ Allan Atherton The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will be January 28 For more information, see <http://www.aye.net/~lcs>. A calendar of activities is at <http://www.calsnet.net/macusers>.
