Everytime I plan on doing some downloading at 14.4, I always pull up task-x and zap task priorities. (I actualy seek revenge on the trackdisk.device! If you lower anything, lower it!) Just take TaskX and lower all the partitons you AREN'T using to 0 or -1, and bump them back up when you are done. Changes are the priority you saw in FaaastPrep were boot priorities from what it sounds like. -- ........................................................................... : Bob Maple, The Brazilian : "If Milli Vanilli fall in a forrest, does //: : bmaple@nyx.cs.du.edu : someone else make a sound?" _ // : ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::........................................\\//..:
