The memtest86 is a very nice routine to have my toolbox. I copied it to a bootable CD and ran it for several hours (14 passes) on my Linux box. There were no memory errors found. Since my system was a mess, largely due to my inexperience with Linux, I re-installed the entire Red Hat 8.0 system. I will continue to monitor my system for disk errors any unusual glitches. Thank you. -- Justin ps. After the re-install I ran the rpm command suggested earlier: [root@mango jkuo]# rpm -qa | xargs -n 1 -t rpm -V &> rpm-Va.txt [root@mango jkuo]# ls evolution ks.cfg mail rpm-Va.txt spool.txt [root@mango jkuo]# ls -l total 28 drwx------ 5 jkuo jkuo 4096 Jan 15 09:55 evolution -rw-rw-r-- 1 jkuo jkuo 947 Jan 14 23:51 ks.cfg drwx------ 2 jkuo jkuo 4096 Jan 17 13:07 mail -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 150 Jan 17 15:36 rpm-Va.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10483 Jan 17 14:47 spool.txt [root@mango jkuo]# cat rpm-Va.txt rpm -V bonobo-activation-devel-1.0.3-2 rpm -V lslk-1.29-6 rpm -V ORBit-devel-0.5.13-5 rpm -V emacspeak-16.0-2 xargs: rpm: terminated by signal 11 Does that last line, "terminated by signal 11" indicate a problem? -- jfk -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
