Note that the Fedora install disc (CDROM, DVD) already includes memtest86. When you boot your PC with the Fedora install CD, there's a menu option to run memtest. (No, you don't have to run the installer.) I ran this over the weekend to help my father-in-law diagnose a memory upgrade. Turns out, one of the DIMMs was bad starting around 190MB. -jh ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
