Sorry if this is a repost... the original posting bounced back to me. My problem that I posted has since disappeared. Here's what I did... even though it doesn't seem to make sense. Bob Page suggested that my Kickstart disk might be corrupt, so I should try Diskcopy-ing it; Diskcopy would complain if there were errors. Guess what... the Diskcopy DID fail. Couldn't read the source disk. Thinking that this might have been an error on my part, I did the Diskcopy again. And it WORKED WITHOUT COMPLAINT. The old Kickstart disk (not the copy) has never failed since then. From the outside, it looks like my original Diskcopy attempt somehow corrected some small problem on the ORIGINAL disk. This doesn't make any sense to me... but the problem IS gone. -- Dan Barrett ins_adjb@jhunix.UUCP barrett@cs.jhu.edu
