...and then use a bootup script to execute hdparm? At least I found that necessary. You can use $ hdparm -tT /dev/hda to test the speed of your hard drive. Before using the bootup script, I was getting a throughput of about 5 MB/sec for buffered disk reads. Now's it up to 28 MB/sec, and I can feel the difference :-}. -Andy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
