Ensure you have all covered. Mozilla tries to access the default web site, perhaps, assuming you are connected to the Net ? vmstat -n 5 - check your SWAP and CPU activities. You have not allocated optimum SWAP space ? 2x Memory size is generally optimum. with and without X running then compare the outputs. You will get some understanding of what's going on with your system. Hard to tell without specific and relevant information from where I stand. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
