This is stating the obvious. The real issue is, why does the system panic? That shouldn't happen. Of course, I can do this myself, as soon as I get access to an audio CD. But if you want the problem solved, please enter a problem report and somebody should look at it. On a more general note, if your system panics, this is a bug. There are ways to find out what happened; refer to the online handbook, which tells you what to do. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
