I changed the <ctrl><alt><del> line in /etc/inittab to: # What to do when CTRL-ALT-DEL is pressed. ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -h now This gives me a clean shutdown without trying to hit the power button on time. I suppose there is a security issue, but this machine is for home use only. Later Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
