System specs:
Pentium 200 MMX
80MB RAM

2 IDE Drives:
SAMSUNG SV0844D 8.4GB
WDC AC21200H 1.2GB

All partitions are ext2 filesytems.

ps xl:
F UID PID PPID PRI NI VSZ RSS WCHAN STAT TTY TIME COMMAND
040 1000 1230 1 9 0 24320 4 down_w D ? 0:00 /home/data/mozilla/obj/dist/bin/mozi

[I'm not exactly sure how to get the wait address if it isn't shown above]

Other stuff:

Creative SB AWE64 PnP
16MB Voodoo 3 2000 and a 2MB S3 Virge display
RealTek RTL-8029 NIC
Sony CRX100E Burner

I'm running X in a dual-head configuration using the above 2 cards.
That's all I can think of at this time.

Thanks,
