OK - I've realised I do get the same warning with CentOS 5.3, it just goes past more quickly so I didn't see it. Maybe it is just the hardware ....<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 28 February 2010 15:37, Bruce Hopkins <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jbrucehopkins@gmail.com">jbrucehopkins@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>I guess the warning comes from here: <a href="http://fisheye.freeswitch.org/browse/%7Eraw,r=16409/FreeSWITCH/src/switch_time.c" target="_blank">http://fisheye.freeswitch.org/browse/~raw,r=16409/FreeSWITCH/src/switch_time.c</a><br>
<br>This is all on pretty low spec hardware - a couple of different Dell optiplex p4's I use for testing.<br>
<br>Does anyone happen to know if I should just stick to Cent)S 5.3, or use 5.4 and not worry about the warnings, or if there is something I can do to fix the problem it is warning about. Perhaps it is just that I shouldn't use such crummy hardware?!<br>
<br>Many thanks in advance<br><font color="#888888">Bruce<br>
