Yes, those problems are consistent with what I am seeing. Oh good, that means it's probably not my hardware. :-) > Prior to installing 2.2-ALPHA, the system has run 2.0-RELEASE > through 2.1.5-RELEASE flawlessly. Excellent. I think I'm going to laterallygrade to 2.1.6-RELEASE, at least until 2.2-RELEASE comes out. (Eventually I want 2.2 running on the machine in question, but for now 2.1.6 is stable and just great for what we're trying to do. :-) I'd like to help debug 2.2-ALPHA, but the end of the semester is coming up, and I find that I have more work to do than I want, and I just don't have the time. :-( - Dan C.
