Post #68,808 by deSitter 12/13/02 9:54:33 PM Reply	Re: GRUB/LILO Pretty much exactly. Once I deleted everything in /etc because I was tired and I made a mistake - I'm getting better, the one and only previous mistake of this sort was of /, and I had backups then, on 8 inch floppies - I was pissed as hell but it was hardly a bump in the road. I did once reboot before LILO, but I had a boot floppy (even on Microchannel) and kernel parameters. Did I blame LILO? Of course not. I always loved LILO because it had the good manners to leave a copy of the boot sector it replaced. -drl
Post #68,810 by deSitter 12/13/02 10:02:17 PM Reply	Re: GRUB/LILO PS: I'm certain that the behavior of cd without argument (take me home) is a direct result of being root. In other words, I won't make that mistake again, cd, I know that's an attic, with a lot of downloads and .dot files. Speaking of which: All these stupid .dot files for every last application are really annoying. .xinitrc must be saying "There goes the neighborhood." -drl

IMO it's long past time to replicate / in $HOME. I tend to do this already with ~/bin and ~/tmp, and sometimes ~/etc, ~/lib, and ~/var. Dotfile propogation started bugging me years ago, and it's not getting any better. Worse is that there are now dotfile aggregators (.gnome, .Gabber, .gconf, .gconfd, .gnome_private, GNUstep, ...). \r\n --\r\n Karsten M.
