I've experienced problems with ZMD on three different systems. - A laptop running SuSE 10.2. 900 MHz PIII, 256 MB RAM - A desktop running SuSE 10.2. 2 GHz Celeron, 768 MB RAM - A miniITX system running SuSE 10.1. 1 GHz VIA Nehemiah, 256 MB RAM In all of these cases ZMD would use 100% of the CPU and significant quantities of RAM for up to an hour at a time, bogging down other processes. Since removing ZMD I've had no such problems. I can't see any benefit I was getting from ZMD that made it worth the resource usage. Now when I install OpenSUSE removing zmd and rug is the first thing I do. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
