Hi, This is my first message since subscription. If this is a wrong starting place please direct me to the right site and protocol. 8.2 certainly laid a good foundation for linux future development ahead of all other distros. But I have one cripling problem on my system: crashes everywhere. Crashes come during bootup at various points--Loading..., Starting..., etc., but always at a different point. Crashes also come in routine file read/write operation with the Home icon. I have an impression that the new kernel 2.4x, on which 8.x is based, is not yet settled down, especially in file-r/w functions. One clear signal of crash is to see the hd pilot light lit up without blinking. When a crash happens, there is no remedy but to switch off the power and start over. The key presses like ctl-alt-bs/del and Xkill do not function. My question: Is there a way to tweak the kernel settings to smooth over my system--amd k6 300mhz mmx, 130mb ram, read3d starfighter vid card 16mb? Or any other remedy, bettern than waiting for the next version to come out. thanx a mil. ben
