It does wonders when one gives it is own account. By running TNOS as root, you are inviting trouble. I don't *ever* want a program with the need to open/read/store large files or large numbers of files as root. If it wasn't for the fact that I run netscape out of my own home directory I would worry about it. Do you know what happens to / when netscape seg faults and blows a 10MB file to your rootfs? Space -> Zero. The only handy part about that is that you can place any (downloading) file anywhere. As for TNOS... It should be away from the machine. I like to run TNOS and the OS as two seperate systems, linked by slip. I haven't had any fiddling with system files on the system. It runs in its own happy world. -- Kris Kirby <kris@airnet.net> ------------------------------------------- TGIFreeBSD... 'Nuff said.
