@CannonFodder

Shouldn't that really be directed at A4K? He's the one that needs sudo access to a *nix box to follow your advice ;-)

Mel uses a certain nameless bloatware OS at work, the latest version of which is known to install successfully on shredders.

The closest she's getting to *nix at work will be an OSX laptop ;-)

He didn't say he had a unix box. Therefore it's unlikey he has root access to it - any unix box he does have access to is going to be somebody elses.

Even if he did have one of his own, you don't have to create a sudoers list :-D

Just don't forget your root password!

It reads...

"Dear world. Having been forced to endure a trip to Unixland in order to attempt a recovery of a dud DVD, I have been pushed beyond my endurance and have decided to take my own life. And those of the people responsible. For unix. And FreeBSD. And Linux. Well, mostly theirs, I might leave mine alone..."

Well, without a root user or sudoers list, your earlier advice could be a bit tricky to follow :-D
