I would request a "cc" message. It seems as recent I have either a memory problem and or possible kernel problem with this system. System is a ASUS P5A, AMD K6-II/350 128Meg/IDE system. The following is a copy of /var/log/messages and warn (only the parts envolved) The system locks up while using Netscape. Exiting Xwindows and typing "shutdown -h now" fails. <CTRL><ALT>Del fails and a power down is required. -- 73 de Donn Washburn aka n5xwb __"http://www.inetport.com/~n5xwb" / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 4607 Sidereal Dr. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Austin, TX 78727 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ 1.512.837.7141 Info:"http://www.austinlug.org"
