Pentium 4, 2.1 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 200 MHz RAM IDE Bus, 400 MHz system bus IDE cable supports UDMA-33 and ATA-66/100 The hard disk supports pio 1-4, dma through mdma 1-4 and udma 1-5 nVidia TNT2 AGP video card booting single user in 80x25 text mode gives still gives me the hard disk acces on each keypress. Oh yeah, I'm using sarge with various kernels (2.2.20, 2.4.22, 2.6.0-test9, 2.6.0-test11) all giving the same results. Previously, woody was on this machine, and this problem didn't occur. Is there a configuration file somewhere that sets the amount of memory to use for the bash shell? If so, what is it? And could it be set to something absurdly small? Or is this perhaps from a keylogger secretly installed? If so, how could I detect it? Thank you. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
