It was long ago as 9.3 was brand new, so I really can't recall times, but it was something like 20-30 minutes to see the desktop. That board had obviously more problems, but at the end it was working. It could be disabled cache, really slow hard drive, very little RAM on graphic adapter etc. Later I did the same on 350 MHz and 128 MB, and it was slow, but nothing comparable to one mentioned. I guess it was more like in your example. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
