These are preset for you in a script file somewhere by the helpful Mandrake people (the default is to have the -i flag disabled), but for the life of me i cant remember which script file. You could find / grep on "alias rm". I am assuming you are used to the normal default behaviour of the command. It is not just rm, several have it turned on. -- Michael
