-It has not lately been booted from a CD I can rule that out. -I think these might have been spurious errors at that. -Possibly the problem was with udevd and may now have (touch wood) been corrected by dpkg-reconfigure. -I am doing a snapshot of the process stack every 5 minutes and logging, so that I can capture the process that is doing the resource-hogging which caused the user to want to re-boot his machine (I suspect something was going wrong with an X app and really all he needed to do was kill the app) -Thanks! -- If you wrestle in the mud with a pig. you both get dirty, and the pig likes it. -- Dave Dawson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
