I am all for technicians learning as much as they can, but when a general user starts bringing in PCs with who knows what installed, this leads to anarchy. I am only speaking as the administrator in a company environment and raising the caveat that he needs to check company policy because it could be grounds for dismissal. I have nothing against Rodolfo or his suggestions, just want to be sure that the original poster is aware that some companies frown on it. I would hate to see someone get fired for reading advice from here without the proper caveats. Ed -- fedora-list mailing list [email protected] http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
