I have successfully gotten on to the Net(using Netscape in Linux right now!). Thank you for the help and suggestions. Problem #2: When I'm in KDE, I will have a couple of windows open and performing even a minor task. Then go to open something else, or close a program. When this happens, LInux begins to look like Windows 95 with 8MB of RAM. Everything stops responding and the hard drive starts going, and going, and going. I have walked away and left it for more than 5 minutes and the hard drive will still be going. This has happened to me three times now. Other times, KDE does start to slow down and takes time to respond to commands. My system should be capable of better performance then this. I am running: Abit IT5H HX chipset K6-233 64 MB of EDO Adaptec 2940W(an older one!) two scsi drives (2GB and 1 GB) Linux is on the 1 GB booting to /sdb1 and an 85 MB swap partition /sdb5 Diamond 3D 3000 4MB Any ideas??? -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
