Like artsd died, and when I clicked on the OK button to clear the advisory, the machine was locked, taskbar clock stopped, the whole maryann. Hit the hardware reset. On reboot, e2fsck cleared about 400,000 inodes on the / partition. Recover maybe, but not of / as it wasn�t yet fully backed up from the last rebuild, so a full reinstall was 2 days quicker. And thats the third time artsd has died and took the machine with it. Its a POC. > Sven -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.19% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
