I've actually never before been so happy seeing machine quickly eating some 1GB of swap :) I started my leave as of today (Tuesday) and now it's one of my top pririties to start working on packaging a installable version of that (the kernel fixing was one of the problems too). When the CentOS-4.2 final set of sources are available, that will be the freezing point for sparc64. There is no release date, but a little patience will do it. -- Pasi Pirhonen - upi at iki.fi - http://iki.fi/upi/
