Keith" , dev@epsilon.com Subject: Space Monkeys and disk partitions Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk sh-t. It was a Money_B virus, it appears my original MS boot diskette had it. (Which is funny because the system and the diskettes are from work -- my home machines are kept cleaner than that ... but this explains why a Toshiba portable at work had problems a few years ago.) I'll reinstall tomorrow after I zero the disks (the second disk still has problems caused by the virus), but at least the system will hang around for a while this time. Thanks kindly for the kick in the head to re-examine this. -ahd- -- Internet: ahd@kew.com Voice: 617-279-9810 "What's a snuggly hug? Can I get a demo?"
