Since you are not running as root, you could not delete the / directory. (Unless you are running as root, in which case you deserve anything you get ;-) Never the less, the behavior you report does not occur for me. I don't get a request to confirm deleting trash. (although I might have turned that off some time ago).. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
