I installed gimp 1.0.1 from slink and can't make it print directly to

Somehow my ifconfig has become extremely slow. I'm not sure exactly when
this happened, but it probably happened while upgrading to slink the other
day.
To give an example:
$ time /sbin/ifconfig >/dev/null
real0m6.788s
user0m4.450s
sys 0m1.590s
This used to take far less than a sec

Yes, you use fdisk on the whole-disk devices such as /dev/hda and /dev/hdb
while you put file systems on the partition devices such as /dev/hda1 and

Removing /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib/X11/locale (empty dir) and linking it to
/usr/lib/X11/locale instead worked for me. A small glitch in the upgrade
