Re: [expert] 9.0 VERY Slow, ideas??

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Nice idea, I thought of it too but the problem is still there when running IceWM as well. Hardly any faster than KDE. There IS something wrong when Win 98 blows Mandrake/KDE away in a speedwar. I feel this is a genuine hardware problem or something I'm missing... Some sort of conflict somewhere perhaps, trouble with the video card...I dunno, I am out of ideas.

Cheers

Jason

I am running a bone stock 9.0 (dual boot win98) on my Toshiba Laptop
Satellite pro 4300. It runs VERY slow, as in so slow I boot into Windows
98 when I need to get work done. It simply flies in Win 98 but being the
Windows hater I am, I want my Mandrake!! I need some suggestions as I
have stopped any services I don't need and it's still slow!!

Kick out KDE and/or Gnome but use icewm, windowmaker or xfce instead.
You'll be surprised at the speed difference with hardly any functionality loss 
if you keep either (or both) of the 2 heavyweights installed as well.:o)

Personally I prefer xfce, but that's a matter of taste;o)

Good luck,
