I must admit I need to figure out how to do that(disk wait mode with firefox). Aside from that, it seems there are reports of this with the latest and so forth. As a note This explains why and when I plugged in an older kernel that had no problems at all, was suddenly giving me problems, leading me to believe that my service provider(was bandwidth limiting), or a script kiddie was messing with the line, but this did not seem to be the case; Thankfully. I'll look into it and let you know. regards; -- Justin P. Mattock
