------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-09 23:00 ------- Machine was freshly cobbled together out of spare parts for the express purpose of testing 9.2 betas. Previously, it did not have any Linux version installed. 9.2rc1 would not install on it, so I installed 9.1, fixed /etc/grub/menu.lst, fixed /etc/fstab, and upgraded to 9.2rc1. There has been nothing special done to this system that wasn't part of the installation processes. Only non-default user is 501. Intel VX chipset, Pentium MMX 200, 128 MB EDO, 53c8xx SCSI, realtek8139, ET6000 4 MB, 4 GB /dev/hda, 9 GB /dev/sda, atapi CD on /dev/hdc. Also, /dev/scd0 powered off and disconnected after install complete. All other systems with this mc problem were 450-550 MHz, and did/do not materially differ in performance starting mc.

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..
