You may want to bump up the RAM cache while you're there. Unfortunately, this seems to make Netscape unstable under MS-Windows and SGI/IRIX. It seems more stable under Linux, but RedHat Linux hits the disk frequently anyway, so it's of limited value. Speaking of which, has anyone figured out how to keep RedHat from waking the hard disk so often? I moved recently and lost my dorm's ethernet connection. I found that if I don't run the network stuff in init.d, RedHat stops waking the hard disk. I haven't had a chance to track down the exact cause. -- John H.
