Just to let you know you are not alone, I have seen some strange reporting on gkrellm too. I run folding and it don't always add up just right for some reason. I'm not sure how gkrellm works but I assume it reads /proc to figure out what is going on. Maybe it is the way /proc files change or something. Still like gkrellm though. Lots of skins too. ;-) Dale :-) :-) -- [email protected] mailing list
