Perspective is everything... :) I've done enough LFS's to recite them from memory, I still learn something every time I try... My final goal is to have a script to "manage" my LFS inventory (most of my servers are LFS) but I've found that my script may have other applications. THANKS!!! :) Enrique PS: It'd do me a GREAT service if you just glanced over http://www.kitepilot.com/LFS/B.-MANAGE-MACHINE-README.txt and told me if it at least makes any sense. I'm not the best technical writer...
