I have an 800 MHz 20 Gig (Linux) / 4 Gig (Win98) box, and I just installed Woody, new, on the Linux side, with K, wiping out my Potato-Wmaker system [it's okay, Mr. Potato was only 2 wks old].
Previous to this Woody installation, I had approximately comparable performance, Linux - to - Win98. However, now whenever I go to get my email or download a web page, the communications baud rate is so slow that the system often times out. It *is* getting through, but only erratically. I can reboot to Win98, and everything is normal speed. Can anyone tell me what I have misconfigured, such that I've got molassas for a web browser? My connection is a permanent connection to another Linux box, which then transmits to a server via radio dish, which then links to the net through a proxy. However, I also have a modem, nominally on COM1, that is not being recognized, and a sound card that is not being recognized by K. Normal speeds are 32kbaud, but even local web pages are getting stuck with Netscape Mail under K. I also downloaded by Net Install the entire Woody installation, and that was at normal speed [as is Dselect], so whatever the problem is, it seems to happen just with something in K.
