Thanks, all. PUMP is on knoppix 3.3 and 3.4 and worked. I restarted with the wire pulled and put back in after booting was done. Then 'su'd' to root, and pump. Worked for all three kernals we have. I have tried the ifconfig before, but not the dchpd thing. Will try that someother time. Thanks again. Ed ps. IF I can remember the next time and the wife to..hehehe, that will be the ?? of the day!! --- elemint@theriver.com wrote: > ec wrote: > > >My 'other half' sometimes beats me to power on > after > >we shut everything down before a storm.
