During initialisation of hardware (the front LED is blinking) you can "easily" switch off the machine. But, after the OS was started, it's not such a good idea to allow an user to simply fiddle with the BRS (-> big red switch). Try to /sbin/poweroff or to /sbin/halt your box and try again:-) MfG, JBG -- Jan-Benedict Glaw . jbglaw@lug-owl.de . +49-172-7608481 http://lug-owl.de/~jbglaw/software/snapshot2cvs/
