Hello all,
I just did a clean install of RH7.3 on an old Dell notebook. (It was
previously running 7.1, no prob.) After the install, everything was

Saul,
Thank you, that works beautifully. I modified it slightly to allow a
user to enter a search pattern on the command line, to wit:
#!/bin/sh
echo -e "Enter a file or pattern to search for...\n"
read file
for i in `find . -name "$file"`
do rm -i $i
done
exit 0
Thanks again!

Hello,
Could you please clarify "breaks binary compatibility"? Does that mean

I seem to have messed up my ability to print to my usual network

Plus, I can't shutdown/reboot cleanly. Please advise! Thanks in
