I run folding and it don't always add up just right for some reason. I'm not sure how gkrellm works but I assume it reads /proc to figure out what is going on. Maybe it is the way /proc files change or something. Still like gkrellm though. Lots of skins too. ;-) Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
