IMO, you have one course of action if the VM sucks for you: try a new VM. Try either the 2.4.10-ac11 which includes the latest improvements on the original 2.4 VM; or go whole hog and try Linus's new VM which first appeared in 2.4.11. It is up to 2.4.12 now (but make sure you get the really latest one with Tim Waugh's parport fix). Being cautious of the bleeding edge is understandable, but it appears you have little choice. jb _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
