I recently installed Mandrake 7.1 on an aged Dell 100. If mainly runs X, and is on a small network, connecting to the internet through a Linux router. If the machine has been up a few days its often impossible to get back to the console. You can launch an xterm but can't type commands. You can still launch some programs from the menu's. However I can ssh in from a local Red Hat box and run commands, like rebooting the Mandrake box when this happens. Does anyone have any idea's or what I should look for? I hate having to reboot my linux machines! Best Wishes Paul Lee
