P.S. This is *not* indicating only a CPU problem, but just that whatever hardware component is the problem, if any is indeed the cause, is going from "cold" towards/above normal operating temperatures when the problem occurs. Generally the CPU will heat the fastest under heavy load. Then after awhile, others will get warmed up, depending on load on them and ambient case temperature in the vicinity local to the components. ><snip sig stuff> -- Bill -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
