I'm not actually sure this pack is going to work, here's a bit fo a top:

 4:00pm  up 65 days,  1:10,  5 users,  load average: 1.31, 1.40, 1.27
61 processes: 60 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states:  0.3% user,  2.3% system,  0.0% nice, 97.2% idle

As you can see, this isn't a lightweight machine, and I'm now into thrash land.

Anyone got any suggestions?

cheers,
