Tried Konqueror again to find a file, there are Win partitions on this box. After 15 mins I gave up and found that it had crashed, although the hd light was still flashing. Ctrl/Alt + anything you like did nothing. Had to
Ok, here is the problem - Windows partitions are going to be EXTREMELY slow to search in my experience. I do not believe find catalogues non-Linux partitions, so I think that is why you are having trouble. Try pressing Ctrl+Alt+ESC and clicking a dead app when it locks up. That should "kill" the app.
hit the reset. Tried locate in terminal and it came up with a list in 14 secs. If you run the emeflm file manager it flies. This is still in KDE. There must be something wrong with the way KDE is setup or installed on this box, can't think what it might be though.
Well, as I mentioned you will notice major slowdown searching Windows partitions (viewing Win partitions shouldn't be a problem though). Another thing you may be noticing is that SuSE 7.2 has KDE 2.1.1, whereas SuSE 7.3 has KDE 2.2.1 (if you are so inclined, you can download the updates needed to get KDE 2.2.1), which has less bugs, more features, and more speed. Finally KDE will be slower in 7.2 due to the lack of prelinking. -Tim -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.
