The machine is running on a ISA motherboard, with an the amount of swap that you have allocated is most likely insufficient. you should have enough memory to run all your processes without swapping. if that is not possible, then at least allocate more swap. the old rule of thumb says 100MB swap for ~50MB ram. use ps or top to see how large the set of processes becomes and size the machine to match. only 1 drive for news? moving history to another drive (or better another controller) would probably help you. jmb -- Jonathan M.
