Hawkins Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2001 19:51:45 -0500 From: hawk Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X just froze on me a few minutes ago. No problem I figured, I'll log in from another machine. It was hung for about 5 minutes. I don't know why it occurred to me, but I remembered that I'd taken the parallel printer offline. I hit the online buton, and X *immediately* came back. Is something seriouisly wrong? How could this happen? I'm sure it never would have occurred to me to even consider the printer if that wasn't how the old 8 bits worked (ok, CPM eventually added a timeout, but that was a later version than anyone used :) hawk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
