Wow... never knew that thing existed! So, I ran:
new-memtest-pkg --mkinitrd --depmod --install 2.6.16-1.2121_FC6
amd that worked it seems. It made an entry in /boot/memtest86+-1.55.1
... now what do I do with it? Is this something done at boot time? Or do
I run it in a Xwin Terminal? Looks kinda nifty! Thanks! Ric
