ahem ... YES Ingo I was running KDE ... I will try another one.
Surely KDE is awfully slow on this LX with 32Megs ...

I was trying to compile the Kernel and it was crawling to .. I will
disable Xwindows all together and try compile see if gets any better.

Which utility should I use to really see what is going on with

Tks for your help.
