I just had a major crash, or it owuld have been in the past. My apartment is not very adequately wired. I know to turn off lights and stuff if I run the microwave and the computer at the same time. But I wasn't running nay lights Anyway, I was heating my lunch in the microwave and the circuit breaker went fsck fialed. In the past i would have had to boot a rescue system and figure all this out. But lo and behold, up came a message that it had failed and asking me to run it manually. And telling me how!!! And it worked. This is the first ime I have seen this and I am deeply grateful five minutes work at most -- Bob Rea Fear of Hell is pernicious; So is fear of Heaven. rear@sirius.com http://www.sirius.com/~rear
