I was downloading a ISO image, md5summing another while browsing the web and md5sum core dumped. I started another and a top and then I saw kswapd being defunct. The box oopsed a little later and when I get home I will post the oops. This is my third oops this day. Before that I had linux-2.4.10-xfs with an uptime of 6 days. florin -- "If it's not broken, let's fix it till it is." 41A9 2BDE 8E11 F1C5 87A6 03EE 34B3 E075 3B90 DFE4
