I have done a top. Nothing is running.

I used the memtester from http://www.qcc.ca/~charlesc/software/memtester/ to test the memory to see if the memory was failing or a card was improperly installed.

The initial login screen takes five minutes or more to appear.

I have a Dell station, 665 MHz, 256Kb Cache, 256 Kb ram, that is unuseable because it is too slow. The system used to be fairly quick; we had been using it as a web server. Now there is a delay in any graphics display, "ps", "vi", "man", and "rpm" process. I would appreciate any suggestions of where I should look for the problem.

We had two disks on the system. The system disk is a Maxtor 52049U4; the auxillary disk is a WDC WD800BB-00CAA1.

I repartitioned the Maxtor disk and gave all the system partitions plenty of space:

        /dev/hda6               280005    102347    163202  39% /

I installed RedHat 8.0 as a new system. I have since upgraded the system to 2.4.18-24.8.0. It is still sloooow.


One at a time, I have taken out the second disk, pulled out the ethernet connection, and stopped the X display on the system. I normally use GNOME.

where in looks suspicious. The count was just as high when I rebooted without an ethernet connection.
