Huh? I don't have to have a init thingy today either. Think about it. LOL If I reboot and the init thingy fails, I just edit grub and bypass the init thingy.

It is REALLY happening. ;-) Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
