I think that was my mistake. I was assuming that # would rem lines out. When I
removed all the # lines it did not re appear.
To the best of my knowledge, # is a definite rem. The problem you have, and the one you had with the touch command, makes me wonder what software you are using to create your shell scripts. It has to be a text editor (such as kedit), not any kind of word-processor (such as kwrite? I forget the name). A shell script has to be pure ASCII and embedded control codes in word-processor files screw things up.
ls-l /full/path/to/firestarter That gives command not found, however I would expect it to be root since you cannot access Firestarter from user. In the file properties from Konqueror it show Ownership as root for User and Group.
OK .. I should have put the space in ls[space]-l - that would work.
I don't suppose that there is any harm in reinstallation - though the cynical money is on it making no difference.
You are probably right, but sometimes it works. Have you ever taken items apart when they don't work - can't find anything wrong, but start it and it works.
True - I have also found the converse to be true.
