Well, I believe I've got everything licked. I used the 2.4.10 update out of the 7.3 directory on my 7.2 install and he's been running for 3 hours with no VM usage at all...and yes Netscape 6.2 is running and all the normal things I run. So it looks like all is well with a sanctioned kernel..even if it's for the next version of SuSE *grin* Cheers! -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- "Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal" -AE
