Just picking a post to reply here and it may have a good point. I was |
| 18 |
browsing around to see what software I had for my UPS. I thought I |
| 19 |
would download the thing, untar it and just check out the README file to |
| 20 |
see what would be involved in installing it on my rig. It was a tarball |
| 21 |
so nothing video related or flash related either. It also didn't use |
| 22 |
the little download helper tool I been using either. I clicked on the |
| 23 |
link to download and the window popped up to ask me whether to open it |
| 24 |
or save it. I selected to save it as I have done countless times |
| 25 |
before. As soon as I clicked that, the window popped up asking where to |
| 26 |
save it to then kernel panic. This was in Seamonkey. |

Could this be a network card/driver issue? I have had no problems so |
| 29 |
far with emerge downloading anything from the command line. I'm going |
| 30 |
to test this by deleting the tarballs for OOo and then fetching them |
| 31 |
again. If it doesn't crash, then maybe it is something related to HOW |
| 32 |
Seamonkey and Firefox access the net. If it does crash, then maybe I |
| 33 |
need a new network card. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Thoughts? Going to go run my test now. |
