I decided to go clean install and get a fully 7.2 system. I had a 90%+ 7.2 system before that I had hand-upgraded but some problems occured that I couldn't define enough to fix and went with a clean slate. Now that I have finished installing 7.2, there are a few problems that did not exist before. First off, the system is incredibly slow. I have an Athlon 700 and 256MB Ram yet when I start anything, a konsole, kmail, whatever, it takes FOREVER for it to start. Before the new install, everything was very quick. It is not aRTs - it is set at 'comfortable' which is the same as it was before the new install. The other problem is fonts and appearance. Whew, my screen looks ugly now that I have installed 7.2 completely. I am using XFree86-4.0.1, 1024x768 16 bit colors, just like before, but my fonts are blocky and ugly. They weren't before the upgrade/install. Many fonts, though listed in the font manager, do not display when selected either. Though their names are there, only a small fraction of them display examples when I select them. I have never come across these problems before with ANY install of linux so I do not know what to do now. Any pointers or suggestions out there? praedor -- Against stupidity, even the gods futiliy contend
