Jim, Tzafrir wote: Why not make the button cause a proper shutdown? The button is either system reset or IPL (clear). If there's a way to convey that to the software, it would be cool, but I doubt it. Jim, Do you run your Linii under VM or LPAR? Leland

The check on disk space also uses those other files. AFAIK the tools to create those index files and cross references is not part of the distribution, and the format of the files is proprietary. You may be able to hack it by looking at the files, but you never know if you got all the bits
