An X server can crash the kernel because it has privileged i/o and memory access. Programs such as apt and dpkg cannot. What you got can only be either a kernel bug or a hardware problem. Since apt and dpkg do nothing at all out of the ordinary from the point of view of the kernel, it is unlikely that they would tickle a kernel bug that would not also be tickled by many other programs. Thus we are left with hardware. How's your cooling? -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI
