Sometimes the process can tie up the CPU for a while; on a decent machine I've seen it "hang" for a few minutes; anything over an hour though is unreasonable. Try Ctrl-Alt-F2 (or just Alt-F2, if you're just in a text-mode console) to see if you can switch to a different Virtual Terminal (VT); if so, the machine is not locked up. -- Kent West Technology Support /A/bilene /C/hristian /U/niversity -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
