Hello, I was wondering if anyone else notices this when installing or removing packages: the disk is heavily used (like when the cron scripts are triggered in the morning) for some time (depending on the number and size of the packages), and the box becomes absolutely slow. This happens even with small pacakges, in a Woody/Pentium II 400 with 64 Mb of RAM and a 15 Gb Western Digital Caviar HD using ATA66... The window manager is flwm (the fastest and lightest I could find)... And I'm also using Gnome, but Gnome is usually pretty fast here. (And I usually have 20 or 30 Mb of free memory.)
