That is without the quotes tho. I did notice earlier that when I switch to single, it is not unmounting some file systems for some reason. When I try to switch back to default, rc sort of pukes. If I unmount everything first, it switches cleanly. I think openrc has some . . . weirdness still. You can check out the rc man page for more info. That help any? Dale :-) :-)
