There is no difference between shutting down and restarting until the end from the kernel perspective; it does the very same stuff until it gets there. I will see if I can reproduce this odd behaviour under Qemu - maybe it's a VMware problem. Also, does "sync" executed from a Terminal before rebooting change anything? > also, i always have to re-make a directory /mnt to mount the > partition in. > it always disappears after a restart or shutdown. That's the same as in BeOS; if you create directories in the root, they will only be temporary. Maybe you want to use the "mountvolume" command instead, which does the job automatically. > two other things, the sea monkey application suite doesn't start up > anymore > fully (gets stuck on the splashscreen), and I no longer seem to have > a > working network within Vmware! Tested with what revision? I'm currently working on the net_server/TCP/ etc. :-) The net_server is now started automatically; the Netscript is no longer executed. Bye, Axel.
