As 1-off is init 1 and alsa is off and so forth. Bad explanation, maybe someone can jump in here and explain better. And /tmp was what I had in mind but other tmp files could be causing a problem, like /home/your usr/.tmp could be acting up. Not real sure but a memory leak might end up tying up all of your ram also. Anyone else have a thought? Slap me if I'm leading down the garden path. : ) -- Dennis M. linux user #180842
