And no, it didn't ask before writing to .bashrc, and it didn't say a word about it after writing. At least it left /etc alone. BTW, some permissions will have to be changed to allow your uid to access the database directory (DBWORK). Else it will fail silently. But even if you set the proper permission, it will dump core anyway: x_start: Unsuccessful startup, see diag file for errors Clearing Custom cat: load.prot: No such file or directory ls: util*prot: No such file or directory rm: too few arguments Try `rm --help' for more information. [1]+ Abort trap ~/office52/soffice Too bad the diag directory is empty. At least you can read Word attachments... :) bye, Jimmy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
