Thanks Stephen, I remember you mentioning this before. I'll have to take a serious look now. I screwed up when I setup my system and made my swap 612mb, now with 512mb ram I know its too small. Box is running so well now, after removing the bad ram, think I'll wait for my next release install and redo the partition. -- Chris Registered Linux User 283774 http://counter.li.org 18:48:03 up 3 days, 6:28, 2 users, load average: 1.73, 1.05, 0.96 Mandriva Linux 10.1 Official, kernel 2.6.8.1-12mdk ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's not reality that's important, but how you perceive things. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Live - Classic Rock - From Virgin Radio UK Virgin Radio Classic Rock - -
