If you compiled the old kernel for e.g. a PentiumII processor and your upgraded motherboard has now a PentiumIII processor, then you will get a kernel panic when you boot. Werner On 2 Apr 2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hello, > > I'm considering upgrading my cpu/motherboard/memory. If I co

Try netsaint at http://netsaint.sourceforge.net/ or Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG) at http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/ Here are some pictures http://www.stat.ee.ethz.ch/mrtg/ Or you could use Tivoli. At my work, we have Tivoli running everywhere and it's extremely powerful.

I know that I can use some other characters too to disable it. But at my work, people are almost "paranoid" about security and the Security admins want to know each little detail. Especially, when ESM "ESM - Enterprise Security Manager" raises a flag. I guess, if it doesn't make any difference,
