Got my 4.3 cd's 4 days ago :) Thanks for a great system.
I have installed 4.3 on this laptop and have a few problems:
1). using pkg_add to install packages from cd is very slow:
it took over 5 minutes to install firefox and over 10 minutes to install
abiword.
2). "startx" takes a minimum of 80 seconds to load fvwm, and over 2 minutes to
load windowmaker. I have tried with no /etc/X11/xorg.conf, with the sis driver,
and then finally with the vesa driver. Not enough time difference to mention.
3). After running X, it takes 10 minutes for Firefox to load and bring up the
initial screen/url. Just to start firefox, type in my webmail url, check mail,
logout, and shutdown firefox takes 19 minutes (I've tried that 3 times).
When loading, firefox uses 95% cpu according to "top".
4). I noticed while trying to install packages, perl uses over 90% cpu, and
that is installing from console without X running.
5). Creating keys on first boot too so long I left the room after 5 minutes and
kept checking till about 15 minutes when they were finally made.
This all has happened after a fresh install. FWIW- FreeBSD 7.0 won't even
install on this laptop.
I have tried installing 4.3 before and after FreeBSD in case I did something
wrong during installation. During installation I installed all packages
(including x*.tgz).
Any help appreciated on fixing this.
I have never tried installing any bsd on a laptop till trying this one. Is
there something I need to know to do first?
btw- I installed 4.3 on a 500mhz Dell Optiplex GX1 and it is great :)
The machine is AMD 1.8ghz with 512 megs ram. OpenBSD partition is 12 gig.
