Funny thing is, if you do the right thing on your notebook and don't run as root, you won't get these notifications. They'll just pile up in root's mailbox. Perhaps the Fedora installer should provide a way to hsve these messages sent to a normal user account on the system instead? (If it does, I missed it.) Personally, logwatch (the source of the daily e-mails) annoys the **** out of me. But I use Linux on a laptop, not on a server. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Charles Taylor <tomalek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> * Chemistry teacher, Linux enthusiast! -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Web: http://home.mindspring.com/~charletiv/ --------------------------------------------------------------------
