By the way, I can certifiate that things like in this koan do/did occur, and happenned to me once. A professor was trying to boot the mini computer we had at school (following the written procedure), and it was failling to boot. I then came and did the boot procedure that I knew by heart (and knew what it was doing, not just cargo-culting it), and it booted at once. You have to know what you are doing for it to work. This was particularly true with old systems, but it can still happen with more recent hardware. That's why the bogon theory has been developped. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ “The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog.
