Atom Powers lives close enough that a stop-over yesterday was reasonable. I had "tao" booted to Fixit mode and with some magic ifconfig command Atom managed to rescue the hundreds of megs of stuff that I should have backed up by rsync or otherwise. This noon Atom brought over a set of the 6.1 CD's that I will try once I've reinstalled 5.3 and hammered the hard drive for a couple days. Greg L mentioned the possibility of hardware faults as a cause of the fatal trap. If the disk *has* gone south, I'll add the entire box to my giveaways. Anyway this is a public thanks to everybody who has helped, including the rsync scripts. It is takes a week to get things stable, better now than later. Everybody knows how rock stolid FBSD is: one crash in 11 years is pretty good proof:-) So thanks to everybody from back in the Eozoic 4.0 days at Cal to the guys working om 7.0-CURRENT. gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
