Hi Rick, I have run top, and it shows two processes at 25% they are X and Gnome. Other than that no processes (other than yum popping up now and again).

Have you run "top" to see what process is sucking up the CPU power? In my case, I made the mistake of running pcscd and that ate a LOT of CPU. A quick "service pcscd stop" restored things to normal. Before pcscd fans get up in arms, I don't plan to have smartcards on my systems at this time. If I do, then I'll investigate it further. For now, my problem is solved. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer rps2@xxxxxxxx - - Hosting Consulting, Inc. - - - - "Hello.
