I am not familiar with FreeBSD - that's one brand of Unix I've never used. I was thinking (hoping?) that someone here other than myself might be able to make sense of it, or perhaps even you. I took a look at the German report, but my German is way too limited to make much out of it other than the 1 minute to start part. Is it possible that your file system is extremely fragmented and could that be a part of it? I only use Evo at home on my primary desktop box and here at work, both on CentOS (5.2 at the moment) and I've never seen this problem. I would expect a slower startup on a portable, but a minute does seem kind of extreme, esp. if OOo starts that fast (mine takes about that, maybe a little less). Good luck! Sorry I couldn't be more help. mhr _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
