Hey, Mac, that list of things you said to try really boosted the speed of My OOo, I thought it was fast, and now it's faster. Additionally, I would like to add that it is indeed WUBI that slows OOo down, it's considerably noticeable on my laptop. Then, I installed Jaunty using my normal USB install-partition the disk job, and it was perfect again. -- Kris Douglas Softdel Limited Hosting Services Web: www.softdel.co.uk Mail: k...@softdel.co.uk Company No. 6135915 Registered in England and Wales -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
