He never lets little things like facts get in the way of what he "knows". You can usually tell when he discovered that he was blaming the wrong thing for his problems - he starts a new thread with the same problem, but blaming something else. That way, he never has to admit that he made a mistake. The thing you have to remember is that Karl uses his own definitions, instead of the generally accepted definitions of things. In his mind the / or root directory is the base directory of the partition, instead of the base directory of partition that gets mounted as /. So in his mind, you can have as many / or root directories as you have formatted partitions. (I am not sure how he handles swap partitions, or virtual file systems like /dev and /proc...) Anyone that does not understand "his" definitions, or expects him to use the standard definitions, is stupid. It will be interesting to see what form of personal attack he uses to respond to this post. :-) Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
