You are possably correct, however. Just imagen all the ones that have tryed out the idea's written about ext2 filesystems on a cdrom..... What do you think they have thought so far.? Its feasable what the person suggest's, but it has, AFAIsee no use at all. I remember last year when someone sent a small one line script to the list asking what was wrong with it and if folks would test/try it, well i am sure many did, but i am also sure that many lost there systems as well as it would have completely wiped out there disk, (if run as root), if it was run as a user then that user lost all data/files in his home directory, i take that sort of thing very seriously indeed when sent to a list of people who have trust in us who try to answer questions sensibly and to the best of our knowlage. Joking and palying around should be done in the playground, not in the classroom. One reason why i bite at the bate... If you belive i am a troll for doing so let me know. > > > Pierre > -- > ------------------------------------------------ > Pierre Rousselet > ------------------------------------------------ -- Regards Richard pa3gcu@zeelandnet.nl http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
