dear all,An obvious question, but have you checked to see what daemons are running (Mandrake Control Center->System->Services)? A couple of times I've clicked on a package I didn't actually need during installation, so then Mandrake obligingly started the appropriate demon. Some of these can be real resource-hoggers, fetchmail being one of the wrost offenders.
***symptoms*** i recently installed 9.0 and have noticed that it is painfully slow. i'm very surprised as 8.2 ran like a bat out of hell.
***pertinate info*** msi mobo(i don't remember the model offhand), amd 1700+ cpu, 256 mb ram (unknown manufacturer), wd 40gb hard drive, sony 16x dvd, verbatim 40x,12x, 48x cdrw, d-link 10/100 network card and hub, g-force 2 64mb w/ tv out, sound blaster audigy mp3 sound card, (and i hope i didn't forget anything else! lol)
***specifics*** slow starting kde, slow starting each and every app, fast logging out, fast boot to graphical log in.
any additional info you may need, please feal free to ask (i'm a n00b, so i may be RTFM on how to retreive that info!)
as always, thanks to those volunteers and others whom take time to generously help out those of us with less experience.
