If you're referring to gmc's pop-up warning box (do other file managers do it also ??), I wouldn't worry about it. You can do as much, if not more, damage at the command line as you can do with a GUI file manager... Actually, in what way is gmc more "dangerous" than mc ?? Starting up mc as root provokes no similar warning. I would continue to use whichever you're already running. gmc, for instance, has options to confirm many operations. If you really want to be cautious, turn them all on. Regards Hall
