I cut my teeth on Solaris during an era when there was no sudo, but I do like sudo. When doing the install, though, I might as well go with "sudo -s" to make it a little easier. It might sound crazy after all the hassles of that installation, but I might do it again just to take advantage of the new tricks I've been learning. Or maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment. I especially want to try the System Rescue CD. I'm also thinking of making a /home partition to make later installations easier. Mike
