How Do I >tweak it? How about rewriting Star Office ;-)? Star Office is bulky and bloated. Switch to something leaner like Wordperfect. No amount of tweaking Linux will help you here, SO needs hardware thrown at it. P200 w/ 64 MB RAM 128 MB /swp is too little for SO, it crawled even on my box (and I could hear the HDD grind while on FVWM). Or download abiword or koffice, these are in beta, but they seem to do the necessary stuff. The offending applications are the closed source apps (Netscape 4.x and Star Office).
