You might want to set some params for your HD's using "hdparm" - that is, if it's installed. If not, it's on the CD's and you can find it in the Software Installer. By optimising the performance of your drives (use DMA and PIO and transfer modes as you can) you will ensure a smoother experience with XMMS or any other media player. -- Mon Mar 17 19:40:00 EST 2003 19:40:00 up 54 min, 3 users, load average: 0.02, 0.08, 0.08 ------------------------------------------------------------------ | __ __ | kuhn media australia | | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | | ;"""/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | ------------------------------------------------------------------ linux user:267497 * MDK 9.1 * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting machine no:194239 * RH 7.3 * Sales - Service - Support - Tutor ------------------------------------------------------------------ ** This messages was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer ** Inglish Spocken Hier: some mangled translations Sign on a cathedral in Spain: It is forbidden to enter a woman, even a foreigner if dressed as a man.
