JD, I'd love to, but the operative word in my msg was "old". The memory sockets in the A22p support only 256MB SODIMMs. 512MB was huge in those days. Since sending my last message I discovered that F13, like earlier versions, insists on installing the beagle indexer. That's a serious performance killer on an old machine. Removing beagle, beagle-gnome, and beagle-evolution has provided some relief, but there's something else still feeding on my system. I'm looking for other CPU/RAM hungry services I don't need. Like beagle, they may not be controlled by chkconfig. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
