Change on thing and all fails. >=20 > Greetings >=20 > Sebastian >=20 Well, based on my experience with Mandrake back in the day, the init thingy is going to break for me here just like it did there. I'm thinking about Kubuntu but I may actually decide on something else. Thing is, it appears Gentoo is going to break my system so I may as well find something that I can install lots quicker to fix what is broke. Kubuntu is just one option. I installed it for my brother and it works fine, SO FAR. I may be jumping out of the frying pan into a fire but I think I need to at least try something else. This is very true if I continue to have issues with the init thingy and not being able to su to root. I know how to use a console but I only use it when needed. That's not very often and I sort of like it that way. Barring that, I could just put everything on / and just hope nothing goes bonkers and fills it up with useless errors or something in the messages file. I have had this happen before and /var was full, I mean FULL. I divide things so that I don't get conquered when it hits the fan= . One thing about Linux, it has a LOT of options. Oh, there is talk of moving more things on -dev. If I didn't know better, I'd think someone was trying to just change Gentoo until it doesn't work any more. I dunno. Maybe I'm ready for a Apple now. o_O Dale :-) :-) --=20 I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words! Miss the compile output?
