It's a little outdated by modern computing standards, but it used to be called a "halt" or a "reboot". Advantage of those outdated concepts used to be that you could replace your /kernel, adding for example a new driver for the new hardware, or after a cvsup. Just curious, but are you planning to add such functionality to S4? :) Kees Jan ============================================== Everyone is responsible for his own actions, and (people tend to forget this) the effect they have on others.
