But strange enough, 2.4.16 seems to be better in the same situation. Another issue; because after that I restart staroffice and mount floppy ; read a file from floppy, because of a bug in Star office (I think ) when I save file to the floppy from star office, star office hang, no responsive at all. I have to kill staroffice but it doesn't work, even I use signal 9. Then I try to repeat this under 2.4.16, it did not happen (kill works) Regards, ===== S.KIEU http://greetings.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
