Yep, I suspect hardware myself due to the symptoms. I got another suggestion to make sure /var isn't filling up, as apparently anaconda on automatic install CAN make this too small. That's what I'll look for first, because of the successful 7.3 installation I put on there VERY recently. After that, I'll download, read and apply some of the install guide options. After THAT, apart from being upset :) , I'll run WDDIAGS and MEMTEST again. In a way I don't want them to come up with something, but I guess knowing why this is happening is better. Thanks for the suggestion. --- Edward Dekkers (Director) Triple D Computer Services P/L -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
