What if the box only has 32 MB? Installer certainly doesn't run and if I do the drive-shell game and install on a different box then move the drive back, login to bash shell takes about 30 seconds of 100% CPU with bash running all the default bashrc and profiles (with all there if-fi blocks [e.g. is this a chroot? set the promt to this, etc]). Then even with locales removed, things are still linked to the libs (whatever they are called) so things run very slowly. Its very nice on my Athlon64 and acceptable on my P-II. However, the P-II only has 64 MB ram so aptitude and Xorg each hit swap. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
