I keep getting these errors when my computer starts up:
cp: cannot create special file '/dev/null': file exists
cp: cannot create special file '/dev/zero': file exists
I know they're not serious, but i could squish this last annoying bug i would be very appreciative.
thnx,
the w3b

Try changing it to NO and see if the problem goes away when you restart. |

It worked! I don't know how you possibly could have known that was the issue. I guess you learn stuff like that as you become a "Veteran." Thanks a lot dude.
