[newbie] what is KillAll and how do I stop errors

2002-07-05 Thread Stephen Britton

Good afternoon folks,

I've been running Mandrake on an old PIII 500 desktop for
the past two weeks and everything seems to be working fine,
except for when I go to shutdown (Halt). When I shutdown the
box and Mandrake goes through it's process, a command 
KillAll pops up and then I get a failed message. It doesn't
seem to hurt anything and I have been ignoring it, but I would
like to get this machine running perfectly. 

Could someone tell me what KillAll does and how I can
stop the error messages that I see when the machine
shuts down.

Thank you!

- Steve

It does just what it says Steve; kills the processes that are running so the 
machine can reboot or shut down.

Post the error here, since something is hanging (failed) and it shouldn't 
be. Somebody here can help you figure it out. 

From experience with running Mandrake on the same processor for more than two 
years in various releases, I can tell you there is no perfect. But there is 
damned good and that's what this list is for. To help you get there. :)
