Ok mozilla has a turbo option (somewhere in prefs - cant remember wherewhere) which preloads moz into memory ala ie which will cut start up times Did you try gnome (sorry a bit of a gnome zealot) if so was there a difference If I remember right this is a known problem with kde with preloads or something (20 seconds for Konsole does seem excessive) As a non scientific test open konsole and type in gnome-terminal (if you have gnome installed) and see if there is a difference This wont be totally accurate as you will have to load gnome environment first as you are in kde, then type gnome-terminal again from the new terminal. Also try galeon if you have gnome installed - I have used it for years actually (for anyone peeking - not exaggerating - used it since 0.2 ish/moz M14) Ditto for evolution > > > _______________________________________________ > Redhat-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
