If I change it, will it affect the use of my system at all? 2) Never used strace. I was under the impression that it was a debugger, and I don't know enough about programming to be able to understand that. But looking into it now, it appears it may be used more simply to give a better idea of what's going on. I'll give it a try. 3) I'll have a look at http replicator, thanks. Jake Moe
