WOW! I've never had any of these problems, it looks like a flaky hard
drive,
I know Linux is a LOT more particular about it's disk/file conditions.
Back
when I was using WinLinux 2000 (Linux used as a BIG Windoze file) I
would have
to run scan disk almost everytime I tried to use WinLinux! But once
Linux was
sure of it's files and their condition it ran well. I'm sorry to see
you go and
I still wonder if it is not a hardware problem: heat on the motherboard,
bad stick
of RAM or again some weirdness with the hard drive. I know windoze is a
lot more
tolerant of hard drive errors.
