Using the K desktop.
After my SuSE has been up and running for a while on this Micron 166 (32mb ram) I get bogged down with memory usage. The HDD light remains on and the mouse gets choppy.
I looked in with Xosview and can see my CPU running at 100teadily. A glance with top and I see something called "find" claiming 930f my CPU usage, so I kill it. Then "mandb" runs up to 78%. Kill that. Now things are good again.
Sounds like it's the whatis database builder. It should only take a few minutes to run. The database itself it somewhat important (it's used for the man -k, apropos, and whatis commands). -- Steve Philp sphilp@ameritech.net "The Internet is like crack for smart people" --Arsenio Hall - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
