------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-09 19:06 ------- Fast as light is how it used to be for me too, like in 7.1 or 8.1, or if started after machine has been up a while. What info do you want? To reproduce: 1-Boot runlevel 3 2-Immediately login root as soon as prompt is available. 3-Immediately do 'mc' as soon as login succeeds. Time to mc ready: 9.1 on K6/2-500: 2 minutes + 8 seconds 9.2rc1 on Pentium MMX 200: 1 minute + 56 seconds To reproduce (alternate): 1-Boot runlevel 5 2-Immediately switch to tty1 when kdm appears 3-Immediately login root as soon as prompt is available. 4-Immediately do 'mc' as soon as login succeeds. Time to me ready: 9.1 on K6/2-500: 1 minute + 55 seconds 9.2rc1 on Pentium MMX 200: 1 minute + 45 seconds More comments: The 9.2rc1 machine was upgraded from 9.1, but only because 9.2rc1 would not install on it fresh. Performance was similar on two other machines besides these two, covering 6-7 installs of 9.1 & 9.2rc1. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEEDINFO creation_date: description: mc startup has actually been fubar since at least 9.0, possibly before that, but I can't remember. I haven't stopwatched it, but if started immediately upon 1st login after boot, it must be taking at least one minute, a seeming eternity, both in 9.1 and 9.2rc1. Upon entering mc at shell prompt, the screen is blanked, cursor goes to bottom left, and nothing happens for a while. Eventually, some liblow error messages quickly scroll up the screen too fast to read, and mc becomes ready to use. Hardware is rather old, P200 for rc1, with 128 MB RAM & PCI graphics card, but immaterially better on K6/2-500 with 256 MB RAM and same graphics adapter for 9.1, and on a P3-450 with 768 MB RAM and G450 graphics adapter..
