Are you running it under 2.4.21? I've had really slow speeds on HDD access under 2.4.21, and I'm told it's because something got broken in IDE DMA in that kernel version. Luckily the machine I'm running it on is only my firewall, so HDD speed isn't important. - Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
