After kde update I had to diable knetwork manager which made the
machine interminably slow for user to login - removing it fixed that
problem - nm is not runnning.

Now it is freezing around 4 am .. any ideas what may be
causing this ? Its been a happy F7 machine for a long time prior to
this ?

I could not find any interesting info in log files. Box is not
visible to internet either.

Thanks for any pointers ...

No idea....

However, for troubleshooting you can try at least one of two
approaches...
First, determine what cron jobs are being at run 4AM and then do one
(potentially both) of the following.

Daily housekeeping.

1. Run the jobs manually one at a time.

2. Disable all the jobs from running except one and then enable one
per day
until you have problems.

Run half. You eliminate one half immediately.

Oh, now you're being efficient. :-)


Enable to okay part, and half the other. Repeat until done.


This is why I do not do automatic updates, ever. I've been saying since
RHN was introduced, back around Valhalla's time, it was a bad idea.
Automatic downloading is good. I like to see what changes, and what's
proposed to change. Even security fixes aren't necessarily urgent.
