RE: Slow slow slow

What, specifically, was slow?  The booting process? COmmand line
response? Disk access?

When I installed SUSE 7.3 in a Ultra30 things ran great except for the
KDE 2.x windowing system.  Entering some Creator/3D specific stuff at
the bottom of the /etc/system file speeded things up considerably on the
screen.  However, NFS never did work worth a tinker's dam.
