Reply from Tom Meade: I'll have to agree with Laurent's wisdom - you have to experience it despite all the advice. For the brief time X ran on the Lombard (333) it was fine. I run it on a 266 beige too and don't see it as too slow considering it's a (Jan. '98) model friend. Oh, and add swapping RAM and trying to install on the original 4GB drive to the list of impossibilities - maybe it was too small? >From all helpful responses, I admit I'm tempted to try another drive - but the guys at MCE told me they'd the same X problem with their Lombo and it assuredly isn't the drive. (Hmmm - they were my drive source - maybe it's their PB drive that's the problem). Any other drive suggestions? This is a $ gamble so I'd appreciate very low cost options. Otherwise maybe should just resign myself to 9. Thanks very much, all. Tom Meade -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
