According to the instructions above I editted /etc/default/grub and change: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash isolcpus=1" I then have to run "sudo update-grub" in a command line and the appropriate change is made. This isn't done automatically during a reboot apparently. This works fine, and seems to be the "approved" way of making (at least) a temporary change. But if, during an update, /boot/grub/grub.cfg gets overwritten I would have to re-run "sudo update-grub" by hand, otherwise the change won't appear. I don't fully understand how would integrate the script for modifying the kernel line (from Erik's messages) into the appropriate place to make this change live through changes to /boot/grub/grub.cfg. Perhaps it goes in one of the files in /etc/grub.d, but I am not sure at what point the line exists in order to modify it... -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Xperia(TM) PLAY It's a major breakthrough.
