[plug] Thunderbird/Firefox(cont)

[David Dartnall]

It's me again Russell,
Sorry for the time lapse - here are the files you suggested.
The system became quite flaky - must have been something I did but I can't 
pinpoint just what. So I reinstalled using the current partitions and without 
reformatting /home. There are 3 drives on my machine and hdb is totally 
reserved for Mandriva.
Tethereal-firefox.pcap resulted from trying to access google.
Tethereal-ping.pcap was the output from pinging google.
Tethereal-firefoxOptus.pcap firefox unsuccessfully accessing Optus.
Couple of points:
After the reinstall Firefox accessed all the websites that I tried but Google
Now tonight it fails on all...
The boot sequence takes a long time with furious disk activity after the 			
desktop is fully displayed - maybe a minute or more and if I try any work 
before it stops the system crashes.
I opened the Computer Angels' Computer Training flyer in ghostscript (PDF) 
downloaded as noted in today's CA email to the group, and similar disk 
activity occurred when I tried to print it - to the extent that it was so 
busy the cursor froze for a while. Eventually printed ok tho'.
If you're able to suggest what I may have done wrong, it would be appreciated 
but I know your time is valuable and I'm sure I'm at fault somewhere.
regards
Dave Dartnall
