david- My advice to you is to load a minimal system and test the hell out of it. Stay away from ports and anything other than the minimal system until you are stable. You can likely get more diagnostic info about your "lock ups" when running the kernel. -jon ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Hahn And Communications hahn@and.com Stop SPAM!
