Sure that's not just a slow disk drive? Upgrading my Thinkpad X20 (2000 model laptop) from its old 10G 4200RPM drive to a 40G 5400RPM drive basically halfed Open Office's startup time. Upgrading the memory didn't change the startup time measurably, but was helpful in working with a couple of my really large documents. (This is on FC1, by the way. I need my Lucent winmodem and my minimal Mach64 3D acceleration too much to toy with FC2 just yet :) ) -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Charles Taylor <tomalek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> * Chemistry teacher, Linux enthusiast! -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Web: http://home.mindspring.com/~charletiv/ --------------------------------------------------------------------
