Todd > > Todd one last thing.... thanks Sorry it took so long to get back..... I'm approaching stable.. I removed devfsd. However all it's really done is lengthen the time between reboots. The box can sit on but unused for about 10 hours or so before it starts loosing stability. Lose of stability comes in the form of programs won't start or die suddenly etc. Then when this starts to happen I know to reboot the box and I'm back to normal. Top shows no runaway programs CPU usage generally stays below 40% bit a mean average of about 20% (I really don't do anything that intense) Swap never occurs on this box as I have 384 megs ram. Ran MemTest for 12 hours and memory checks fine. This same box ran 8.1 fine for about 4 months. The kernel I'm using now and before under 8.1 is a win4lin kernel. Hardware 1. ASUS TUSL-2 Motherboard. 2. 3c905c Nic 3. SBLive Sound 4. OnBoard Video 5. Maxtor 80gb HDD 6. 384 megs ram 7. floppy 8. ASUS CDRW Running XFree86 4.0.2 from the distro. KDE3 instead of KDE2.(texstar version) All updates are current. James
