You can safely remove kerry and anything beagle. and make some noise about it, perhaps it can attract the attention of developers that develop bloated software. In my mind it is really sad that anything not related to gaming or heavy duty engineering simulations abuses hardware thousands of times harder than it could or should... it used to be that open source software was a lean and mean fighting machine, now the typical linucs install is about 2-3x that of an xp partition, don't know anything about vista. and running the proggies often brings up situations like beagle or a software update, much better than 10.2 but still awful timewise, on dual core or even quad core cpus with oodles of ram!!!!! d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
