I have got it to go down to run level zero and give me a little message saying power down. At least it doesn't reboot. Ba bit like the days of Win 3.1 and Dos!

I'll try recompiling on the weekend.

Now my priority is to get rid of those offending kde icons and to get my digital camera to work. After that I can wipe my windows partition and use my win98 cd-roms at the pistol range for target practice.

I can use the partition for something useful like running an rpm based linux.
