Which distro might that be? I'll take input from anywhere at this point, i'm kinda desperate. > recall > seeing the ranges/ports you are using.

I was forced to reinstall the last time it occured, because all of /etc was wiped out, and i'm not aware of any PPC compatible linux boot disks. It happened within the first few hours of my first two installs, and since my latest install dates back to Monday morning, it seems to have either mysteriously gone away on its own, or not yet cropped up again. If it does occur again, i'm going to assume some kind of hardware problem, since i'm using the default kernel that came with YDL, and there aren't any other reports of such a problem. ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J.
