BTW - the disk problems I mentioned earlier - a brandnew Seagate SATA
drive would freeze up, back to shop & replaced by equivalent Western Digital.
 Also, Seagate IDE same problem, also replaced by a W-D.  System is now
rock-stable. Question is, big coincidence, or is there something different in
 the way Seagate drives relate to Linux compared to W-D ?

I have always used Seagate IDE Drives and never had a problem. Never tried their SATA drives though. Could be a coincidence or an incompatability with the on board IDE chipset. I have a Gigabyte 2004RZ Motherboard and two Seagate IDE Drives running this system.

Stay well and happy
