 Any money that you are running Mandrake 7.1?  I had the same problem.  It
 also screws your /var/log/news directory.

I have nothing to offer but you've won the guess the distro quiz :-)

- I managed to fix it using the 1st tip I received.

 A df -i will show that you are out of inodes.
 
 Do
 find /var/log/mail -exec rm -f {} \;
 
 It will take time but it will kill them off eventually.

[SLUG] Staroffice and 2.4.2 kernel

2001-03-07 Thread Jean-Yves Provost

Hi all,

I have an interresting problem where by,

When I'me running my newly compiled 2.4.2 (no patch) kernel, I'm unable
to open a specific word
document with StarOffice 5.2.

Only problem is that it hangs my machine pretty bad.

on the 2.2.17 kernel I get en error in staroffice but my machine does
not hang. - A
Fatal error occurred - then Star Office closes down.

I'm more that happy to provide a copy of the .doc file and of the
.config file used for the 2.4.2 kernel compil.

any feedback welcome.

  Any ideas?

 What kinda of hub/upstream device is it connected to?

That's cheating ;-) , I was looking for a command line telling me what
speed was negotiated by the LAN adaptor (LINUX controlled) with the
hub/switch.
