I would prefer to solve this problem using a fixit floppy or cdrom anyways. I don't think that creates a house of cards. My systems work just fine. But I've often wondered how frequently a production system has such problems. I've been a sysadmin for many years and can't remember this ever happening. It's much more common to blow a hard drive, or have flaky memory, etc. Richard Coleman richardcoleman@mindspring.com
