If I change it, will it affect the use of my system at all?
2) Never used strace. =A0I was under the impression that it was a
debugger, and I don't know enough about programming to be able to
understand that. =A0But looking into it now, it appears it may be used
more simply to give a better idea of what's going on. =A0I'll give = it a try.

Its mostly unrecognisable to me, but som= etimes I find useful information in there, such as a failed attempt to open= a file.
=A0
3) I'll have a look at http replicator, thanks.
