No, that has to do with linefeed characters which are different between Winblows and *nix systems. It you have a text file in Linux, you can run "unix2dos filename.txt" and it will switch the linefeed chars to Winblows. "dos2unix filename.txt" does the reverse. Miark ----cjs reply---- oh ok. So if i was to write to my NTFS partition with *nix and it wrecked it, would the partition be recoverable or would i have to rewrite my partition? ----end of reply---- ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
