Thanks for the tip! Oh! my memoryuse of "limit" is set at 15012K, does that have something to do with the amount physical memory I have? I used to have 16mb of RAM when I installed 2.0.5R, but I recently upgraded to 32mb, so should I set the memoryuse to something larger? Or should I just keep it the way it is? Thanks for the help! :) cheers Chun-Yang Chiu ------------------------- cchiu@uclink.berkeley.edu
