OK, thanks. That is indeed exactly what I would have expected. I've only run this machine for a couple of hours since sorting out the problem, but it seems to be running OK. Also, Fedora-14/KDE Live CD seemed to run fine, as did Knoppix-6. Could this happen if there was faulty memory? I was wondering if memtest86+ could run at a faster speed than desired, or something like that? However, I'm following your experienced advice, and ordering a new memory module. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
