Hi: I have been working with Stephen. I got the three tmp Files
removed, but when I tried to copy a directory (a small on)e to a
Thumbdrive, it just started to make thousands of copies, which filled up
my Hard Drive again, I killed the power and there is now 10.6 Gigs left.
I'll make a little report on it, I'm keeping some notes. I'm thinking of
removing all the system files, so that the Home folder is the only one
left, and that way there would be no instructions for the drive to
follow. If I loose the contents of the Drive, I'll just start over. It's
a risk.
Alfred!
