What configuration differences between the two setups? e.g.:
Are you using the same partition layout?
I'm using the defaults for both RedHat and SuSE on a 9gb drive.
Are you using the same file systems?
Does this mean Ext, Journaling etc? I'm using whatever it set up for me by RedHat 7.2, SuSE 7.2
Are you using the same hard drive optimisation parameters?
Didn't know there were any :(
What else do you have running on the machine?
The SuSE install may have a few more service running, come to think of it. Samba, DHCPD. Those are what I have setup after the initial install.
Are the contents of /lib and /usr/lib (and other lib folders) similar in size?
Now this I can check, and I'll get back to you for advice if they turn out to be vastly different.
Are the contents of /etc/ld.so.conf the same?
What does this do?
etc., etc.
I'm lost on the etc etc, but I'll check out the things that you've outlined. It seems to be the case on a default Office/Desktop style install on maybe two or three boxes I've tried the distro's with. Has anyone experienced this? Thanks guys - much appreciated. -- Matt Yes, I'd love a copy of Star Office 6 beta. Sounds great. I'll email you off list. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
