You said its complaining about a dirty /tmp filesystem. But then you = say you have run fsck on /. You have a separate filesystem for /tmp? = Then run "fsck -y /tmp". Running fsck on / doesn't recurse the entire = system, it does only root. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
