I find that the new SuSE 8.0 is so slow as to be unuseable. Either they left a lot of debug code in it, or I don't know why. SuSE 7.1 was useable, but this is ridiculous. Maybe it only works well on 1 GHz machines. But they say you can run it on a 486. Yeah. If you will wait for next week to get the prompt back. --doug At 05:01 05/08/2002 -0400, Maury Merkin wrote:

I'm running a Dell Pentium II 450MHz with 128MB of SDRAM. But what seems more germaine to me is that blackbox loads instantly and under SuSE 7.2 and 7.3 the kde window manager completely loaded in a reasonable time, probably on the order of twenty or at most thirty seconds. It's only been this slow since I installed SuSE 8.0.

Did you install fresh or upgrade? Something is certainly not right with the setup! Of course, you knew that, huh? ;o)
Did you use your old settings? Has it done the slow load time from the beginning or after you made some changes? I know mine has not exhibited any slow downs, in fact, it probably loads the quickest ever with 8.0 install.

I installed fresh but kept my old /home partition. Of course that didn't have the new ~/.kde subdirectory tree.
Mostly I wanted to know if this is something others had encountered and whether or not some package upgrade was going to fix it. I guess not so I'll just have to go hunting.
Thanks anyway.
