Hi Rob and all,

I should have waited for an advice b4 I reboot my machine....

My system fails to reboot might be due to memory overwritten....
Anyway this is a good lesson for me to remember this...

Cheers,

/ww

PS   Anyway, I have planned to re-install my tp600 with TurboLinux.
So it's time to do it.
