Yes, I know that I'm running below > recommended specs. that's your problem right there. 128mb of ram. my pIII 700mhz at work was usable, but SLOW AS ANYTHING, when i installed fc1. toss in another 128mb and i'm off to the races. i rarely even touch the swap file (virtual memory). find another 128mb of ram and you'll be set. a celeron 800 with 512mb will suit your needs for quite a few more releases of fedora (probably for another 5 or more years). -d +( duncan brown : duncanbrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx )+ +( linux "just works" : www.linuxadvocate.net )+ -------------------------------------------------- Understatement of the century: "Hello everybody out there using minix - I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones" - Linus Torvalds, August 1991 --------------------------------------------------
