It was that I managed to create a FC4 system without a /sys file. To get this solution I had to use the wisdom of a Volvo mechanic that I called in a panic. I told him that as I was driving on the Interstate my gas gage was heading quickly toward empty. He asked the critical question, "What else is not working?". As soon as I told him the windshield wipers were not working he diagnosed the problem. A fuse is blown. So in this case I asked myself what else was not working? The /media directory was missing. And so on. I recommend this approach to anyone else who is faced with similar impossible behavior. ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University telephone: (210)-999-7484
