I developed this thing on a P66, and it kind of dragged, especially when I was 
doing SMP (that machine died a few weeks ago, and I was forced to upgrade :-).

I do, too.  I'm not turning them off in the kernel.  If you really like them, 
go into /etc/inittab in the package fs, and uncomment the '1' and '2' lines.  
The xterms will be back, and the kernel will start crashing on you.

That's fine.  Just knowing that it was ls -alR would have been good.  I 
thought you were maybe running some obscure little program that I hadn't tried 
yet.

I'm doing that differently now.  I'll see if I can slide this rpm thing in 
somehow.
