Take a Win95 PC with ~15MB free space and _without_ QuickTime v3 installed, then install IBM World Book 99. It'll install, then decide it needs to install QT v3 and then bomb out (& lock up) 'coz you ain't got enough disk space. The only way out is a 3 finger salute which leaves a partially installed World Book and all the QT install files in your temp dir. Windows 95 fool-proof computing...NOT. At least with Unix you have control. > Adam > > ===> Whiz Kid Technomagic <=== > http://www.whizkidtech.net/ > The resource center for webmasters and web users > Winner of the Starting Point Hot Site award > Winner of the Lighthouse Award > Home of the Web Magic Award > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- Trust the computer industry to shorten Year 2000 to Y2K.
