Well, it's either stop complaining about those hardware problems here then, or really get it over with and tackle them. Get a decent power supply. Get a decent cooler that's properly hooked up to the motherboard. Buy some new heat dissipater compound. The fan must blow /into/ the heatsink. Don't use finger to estimate temperature. bjd -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
