 Ok ... I'm doing the "dd if=/dev/HARD_DISK of=/dev/null bs=1024k 
 count=MEGS" test ...
 
 Results :
 
 Before :
 
 + /usr/bin/install -c -m 0444 timR24-ISO8859-15.pcf.gz 
 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi
 + rm -f /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/fonts.scale
 + /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontscale /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi
 rm -f /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/fonts.dir
 /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir  -x bdf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi
 *** Signal 11
 
 Stop in 
 /usr/ports/x11-fonts/XFree86-4-font100dpi/work/xc/fonts/bdf/100dpi.
 *** Error code 1
 
 Then :
 
 "dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/null bs=1024k count=128"
 
 After :
 
 + /usr/bin/install -c -m 0444 timR24-ISO8859-15.pcf.gz 
 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi
 + rm -f /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/fonts.scale
 + /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontscale /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi
 rm -f /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/fonts.dir
 /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir  -x bdf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi
 *** Signal 11
 
 Stop in 
 /usr/ports/x11-fonts/XFree86-4-font100dpi/work/xc/fonts/bdf/100dpi.
 *** Error code 1
 
 Same place ... Doctor, tell me the truth : is that my hw or the sw ?
 
 I'm doing the BackTracePowerOfHell right now :-)
