Hi, All: Hope this gets through and posted. I have SuSE7.0 installed on a Linux box. It's wonderful. I have had negative experience with SuSE's Netscape, but don't use it any more than I have to. I love the Konqueror! This morning, with Netscape up, the damn thing locked up, severely. I had no keyboard, mouse control. Couldn't ctl-alt-<-, ctl-alt-del, ctl-D, ctl-alt-F1, or anything. Not sure what one does in that kind of situation. Of course, chose to shut it down hard. Had to fsck manually when I restarted, as hda3 was a big casualty. I then went back into my user KDE mode. Started the kmail, as that was originally what I was doing. Once again, as I was typing a reply [Netscape not up at this point], the whole thing just locked up tighter than a drum. So, now I need some advice on what steps one takes in this situation, before I shut it off. Any suggestions? Thanks, Tom
