My silly system ... Using 4.6 RELEASE, 1.1G Athlon ABit KT7A VIA chipset - running FVCool permanently in idle mode to maintain CPU cool temperature. The really silly bit is ... I don't switch off every day, but I have noticed that, on restart, loading sometimes waits "for ever" at "installing standard daemons" sendmail. Last night the wait was 2 full minutes, and the effect was for me not to be able to get X and worse - "getty repeating too fast - sleeping for 30 seconds" During that sleep, I could work from the console normally, but then the screen blanked and fluttered for several seconds before the sleeping phase was again reimposed. This morning - not expecting too much - I switched on and this time loading swept past sendmail without delay and everything is working normally again. I do not propose to switch off for some time. :-) Q1. Can anyone suggest any explanation for the sendmail-wait problem and subsequent horrors? Q2. I am cvsupping and ready to update to the latest stable. Is this sound, and is it in any way likely to resolve my problem with v 4.6 RELEASE? Thanks in advance. -- Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
