What system are you running? Sounds like you don't have a lot of RAM.
Hi!
I am a linux newbie although i understand some basic thing. Becouse I can't download any new distro ( i am on dial up and the phone company in albania is extremely expensive 1.5 $ per hour) and all my linux distros are 1 year old, I asked a friend of mine to download knoppix for me in oreder to have the latest programs.
The installiation on hdd went great and the hardware recognition was nice.
Now I can surf ,chat, write docs easily on my old computer.
But the difficulties that I run are slow boot time , even when I do log off and I don't know if that is normal.
Open office 1.1 starts very slow ,like 26 seconds. OO 1.0 did better on Libranet 2.7.
Also if I try to open a pdf document i get two adobe acrobat windows.
I miss the snakerace and a tetris game ( i don't remeber very well the names right now ) that I used to find in every distro.
I know that knoppix wasn't bulid to run from hdd install but it would be great to have an administration menu for the system and I don't know if a group selective packages feature could be implemented during install.
Can somebody give me some help.
Best regards

My computer is an IBM pent.3 with 128 mb Ram and 260 mg swap. All my other Linux distros (Slack,libranet and mandrake) load kde somehow faster.
Apart of the dma = on , what else could it be ?
Try Kano's fix-fonts.sh, it slows down the loading of X & KDE when the font paths are not correct and you may want to use the remove-servers and remove-startup-services as well.Originally Posted by fm78
