Mozilla's profile is deleting on me (I'm assuming since my customization is gone and my mail and mail accounts are gone) maybe you don't have the rights to register those infos (i can't see why, but who knows ;p), then mozilla remember them as long as he runs, but can't save them after.. just a possibility. 4. My computer has frozen twice in the last week. did you try to check your hardware, using memtest86 for example (it's in portage), or looking at your cpu/mobo temp ? -- cab -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The kernel warnings when you load nvidia are normal. It has something to do with the fact that it's a 3rd party module and not GPL. I get it all the time. It doesn't affect performance or stability. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Hello, I've been running gentoo fine for about 7 months now. about a week ago I did: emerge -u world at which time KDE started acting up.
