I thought I would try updating the kernel on the 7.3 box with up2date
instead of removing it from the list in the alert notification tool.
Everything worked ok, but when I tried to start X it didn't work. So I
ran Xconfigurator, still didn't work.
Move some stuff like .Xauthority, .gnome* etc. till I found the culprit,
~/.xinitrc!
Now why did having an /empty/ .xinitrc file have to do with X starting
when it was working before? I moved .xinitrc to .xinitrc.old and X
works again! Ok, fixed read on...
Nautilus has always been slow as hell and rpm seems very slow to install
or update packages at times, anyone else have this problem? I have a
7.3 ALL updates, 500mhz AMD and Radeon Mad Dog vid card with 32mb and
plenty of ram...
